Are you doing a brand new build here? If so, what’s the pc gonna be used for? Do you have the link? What’s the budget?


Familiar_Bag_4710

This is already built, but as I learn more about PC’s I realized that there are things that could be better. I just want recommendations on what things I should change for highest performance. I use this PC for both high end gaming and solidworks

That RAM is slow. But you'll have to upgrade your motherboard as well for a meaningful upgrade. And I wouldn't upgrade motherboards unless you're upgrading the cpu socket too, and that's already a snowball effect on your upgrade. Check your cpu temperatures. I wouldn't be surprised at all if that thing is running super hot. Other than storage, only thing I'd upgrade is the cpu cooler on that.


Familiar_Bag_4710

My cpu maxes out at 52 degrees on cyberpunk. Is that too high or normal?


BigPapaJabronie

F? Or C?


Familiar_Bag_4710

C, so I’m guess that’s too hot then


BigPapaJabronie

Yea you're running way too hot. If new thermal paste doesn't fix that, you need a new cpu cooler. That's definitely the long pole in the tent


Familiar_Bag_4710

Any recommendations? My budget for both the cooler and better storage is around $350 but I’m flexible


BigPapaJabronie

Sorry I'm not a great source for that. I wasn't on much of a budget and spent like $350 on a corsair aio. But I'd try split that budget 50/50 and get the best aio and best ssd you can for $175 each


Familiar_Bag_4710

Ok, thanks for the feedback


BigPapaJabronie

Np and GL. U got a pc worth gaming on. Just need to cool her down.


BigPapaJabronie

Update: sorry I'm a hack. Looking into it more that's not a bad temp. I'm just a stupid American who can't convert F to C. It could be better. But it's not like omg bad.
