Repost of When I built my PC I did so planning to upgrade the CPU with Zen 4. I didnt realize Zen 4 would be on a new socket or require ddr5. Would it be better to upgrade to a Zen 3 X3D or just a better Zen 3? Anything else worth upgrading?

should i wait for ryzen 7000 3d v-cache cpus or buy the only non-plutonpozzed 3d v-cache cpu?
>TL;DR: I'd like to spend ~4-500 on a GPU that will actually fit in my case
I built a PC a long long time ago and it lasted until last year. I wouldn't say I play games like I used to, but the 970 has been amazing, I honestly can't believe it's survived as long as it has. Everything is new except the 970 and the PSU, which I'm also surprised has lasted as long as it has. The motherboard needs another pin which the Corsair PSU doesn't have and the case is a little cramped but so far so good.
Any GPU and PSU recommendations for someone who messes with a little photography, some video editing and casually plays shit like Chivalry, single player RPGs and the occasional FPS?
I'm looking to spend around $450 and was thinking the PowerColor 6700XT but it might be too big and possibly overkill for my purposes.

What is the best alternative to Noctua?

Is undervolting really a thing? I thought people liked pushing their PC to the limits of their electrical output.

I fucked up. Now I have to either get a new case and take everything out I spent hours on cable managing and all this bullshit, or return the GPU and get a shorter one or a lower tier card. I'm so mad I dunno what to do.

And yet they both have the garbage 3060 and reddit filenames. You won't get out of this blatant lie low IQ fanboy, you spammed these threads and you're not even being subtle about it
>I thought people liked pushing their PC to the limits of their electrical output. You're doing exactly that though? Instead of hitting a clock limit, you're hitting a efficiency limit. You can even combine the two so you get a overclock with a undervolt.

how is pluton any different from IME? also meteor lake is going to have Pluton if Raptor Lake doesn't.
