Gaming PC TRAFALGAR
🖥️ Current System with RX 6700 XT
Component | Assessment |
---|---|
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X | ✅ Excellent 6-core / 12-thread CPU. Great gaming performance, especially at 1080p and 1440p. Perfect match for the RX 6700 XT. |
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 V3 Spectrum ARGB | ✅ High-quality air cooler. Keeps the 5600X cool and quiet even under load. Nice ARGB aesthetic. |
Motherboard: Asus Prime B450M-A II | ✅ Reliable board. Good BIOS support for Ryzen 5000 CPUs. 4 RAM slots = upgradable. May lack some B550-level features (PCIe 4.0, better VRMs), but still stable. |
RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz (Cuso) | ✅ Sufficient for gaming today, but more RAM is helpful for demanding multitasking and future-proofing. |
SSD: Kingston NV1 250GB NVMe | ⚠️ Very limited storage — modern games (e.g. Starfield, Warzone) eat up 100+ GB each. |
GPU: XFX Speedster RX 6700 XT OC 12GB (3-fan) | ✅ Fantastic 1440p GPU. Beats RTX 3060 Ti and close to RTX 3070 in raster performance. Great cooling with the 3-fan design. Excellent value and 12GB VRAM future-proofs it. |
PSU: Hybrok 650W 80+ Bronze | 🟡 Adequate — handles the system safely for now, but not ideal for power-hungry GPUs long term. Monitor for coil whine, instability, etc. |
Case: Hybrok Carbon w/ 4x ARGB Fans | ✅ Solid airflow and aesthetics. Enough space and cooling for high-end GPU setups. |
🎮 Gaming Performance: RX 6700 XT + Ryzen 5 5600X
Game | Estimated FPS (1440p High/Ultra) |
---|---|
GTA V | 120–140 FPS |
Warzone / MW3 | 90–110 FPS |
Cyberpunk 2077 | 65–75 FPS (High, FSR On) |
RDR2 | 75–90 FPS (High) |
Fortnite | 200+ FPS (Epic + FSR) |
Valorant / CS2 | 250–300 FPS |
Baldur’s Gate 3 | 80–100 FPS |
Alan Wake 2 | 50–60 FPS (FSR Balanced, High) |
✅ Powerful 1440p performance
✅ 12GB VRAM makes it ready for future texture-heavy titles
⚠️ Lacks DLSS (NVIDIA exclusive), but supports FSR 2.0/3.0 in many new games
🧊 3-fan design + Hyper 212 = Cool and quiet system
🔧 Upgrade Analysis
1. 💾 SSD Upgrade to 512GB NVMe – +3,000 DA
✅ Must-Do
-
Total after upgrade: 762GB (250GB + 512GB) = much more practical for modern gaming
-
Faster game load times, smoother system responsiveness
-
Pairing brands/models isn’t an issue as long as you’re using it as secondary storage
2. 🔁 RAM Upgrade to 32GB (2×16GB 3200MHz) – +3,500 DA
🟢 Recommended for future-proofing
-
16GB is still fine for current gaming, but 32GB ensures:
-
Better multitasking (Discord, Chrome, streaming, recording)
-
Smoother performance in future titles (e.g., UE5-based, open-world games)
-
Headroom for productivity, rendering, modding, emulators, etc.
-
-
If cost is a concern, consider just adding 2x8GB instead of replacing with 2x16GB
3. ✨ RGB Fan Controller – +3,500 DA
🟡 Optional / Aesthetic
-
Gives software or remote control over lighting (if fans aren’t syncing now)
-
Useful if your case/mobo doesn’t support ARGB directly
-
Doesn’t impact performance — purely for looks + convenience
📊 Performance & Value Summary
Aspect | Before Upgrades | After Upgrades | Impact |
---|---|---|---|
Gaming FPS | ✅ Very High | ✅ Same | Dominates 1080p & 1440p |
Storage | ❌ Too tight (250GB) | ✅ 762GB total | Much better for game libraries |
RAM | ✅ 16GB (adequate) | ✅ 32GB (future-ready) | Smoother multitasking, better performance in heavy titles |
RGB Sync | ⚠️ Limited or manual | ✅ Controlled | Aesthetic only |
Cooling & Acoustics | ✅ Quiet & efficient | ✅ Same | Excellent thermal performance |
PSU Stability | 🟡 Decent | 🟡 Same | Okay for now, but keep an eye on it |
Upgrade Path | ✅ Strong | ✅ Same | Supports Ryzen 7 5800X / 5700X drop-in |
✅ Final Recommendation
Your system is now a true 1440p beast — efficient, quiet, and fully capable of handling modern AAA games with ease.
Best Upgrade Priorities:
-
SSD – Absolutely necessary
-
RAM – Good to have, especially if you stream, mod, or multitask heavily
-
ARGB Controller – Optional eye candy
💡 Optional Suggestion:
If you ever plan to upgrade to a Ryzen 7 5800X or go for a more power-hungry GPU, it would be worth investing in a better PSU down the line (e.g. 650W+ from MSI, Cooler Master, Corsair, Thermaltake).
🔚 TL;DR:
✅ Excellent 1440p gaming rig
✅ Smart component balance (CPU-GPU-RAM)
⚠️ Upgrade SSD and optionally RAM soon
🟡 PSU is serviceable but not premium — consider replacing in future
💡 RGB controller = up to your visual preference
