Question upgrading existing build for decent ea fc2025

daggs1 · Apr 10, 2025

Greetings,

I'm looking for recommendation on upgrading an existing build to be able to run ea fc2025 decently.
the budget is 500USD give or take, it is without the game's cost and a controller (recommendation will be appreciated)

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
MB: GIGABYTE A520M DS3H
RAM: 2x16GB Kingston DDR4 3200 MT/s
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 550

Thanks

You meet the recommend specs on everything but the GPU. So you'll need to upgrade that at least. This is the hard part though because GPU stock is so limited and prices are up on what is in stock. Something like a Radeon RX6700XT or RX7600XT would do the trick if you can find one at a decent price.

I can find rx6500xt in decent price and maybe rx7600, will that do?
wont the cpu bottleneck the gpu?

There will always be a bottleneck in the system so I would not obsess about that. The recommended CPU is the 2700X so the 3700X is going to do a good job. I would avoid the 6500XT unless it is the 8GB model for a fair price. An RX6600 and 3700X should be good for 100 fps at 1080 high.

If you really want to upgrade both GPU and CPU, a Ryzen 5600 is a great pick if pricing is not insane where you live. Make certain your bios is new enough to support the 5600, update first if not.

really? AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is better than 3700X? cpubenchmark states it is abit less, the 5600x is a bit pricier but might worth it
6500XT I can find only the 4G edition.
I can find 7600 8G edition and 7600xt 16G edition

Make sure your power supply will support whatever video card you choose.
