Why? A few reasons.
1. The CPU compatibility list is from the motherboard maker.
2. If you do swap in a compatible CPU your OS install such as Windows often fails and sometimes invalidates your license. License issues are between you and those that supply such. Dell or Microsoft in this case.
3. If you swap out the motherboard the license for W10 and from Dell is invalid except for a very specific reason and as such you must destroy the old motherboard. There are discussions about that so I end here.
There is usually NO PERFORMANCE INCREASE when we change motherboards and the 1200 isn't much of a slouch so I can't guess why that's on the change list.
1. Did you expunge all HDDs from the system in favor of SSD?
2. Yes, upgrade the GPU.
Hi all,
I'm relatively inexperienced when it comes to PC upgrading, but really love gaming. Having decided that my 3 year old PC needs an upgrade I did a bit of research myself but could be using some advice.
My current specs are:
DELL Inspiron 5675 desktop
AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Quad-Core Processor
AMD Radeon RX 560
8GB installed RAM
Basically what should I look to upgrade first? GPU, CPU or RAM
I could probably afford to do two out of the three at the same time if I'm honest.
In regards to CPU, GPU I was looking along the lines of something like the following:
CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (if I upgraded from current processor, would I be able to just keep my current motherboard and swap out the processor?)
GPU -AMD RX 5600 or 5700
Thanks for any help in advance.
