I am going from an Nvidia GeForce GTX1050 to an AMD RADEON RX7900 XTX

THE REST OF MY SYSTEM IS.

Amd Ryzen7 5800X 8 core

32 GB RAM

2 X SDS 2TB  Hard Drives

Going by these brief details is there any problems you can foresee or should it be simple 🤞

Well it is an amazing card ... But I think I might need a bigger case 😂 There is about 7mm between the end of the card and the front radiator. And Yes I need a new monitor I cant decide which one yet ? about 32" would be what I am looking for. I played Battlfield 2042 with everything maxed and the card barely warmed up so I think it will be perfect for my  needs

KaptCrunch

the air out the back is pretty cool even under load it is barely warming up . And though everything is so close in the case the airflow seems to be not bad at all, plenty moving through the system. And you are right about the power supply, I am thinking of ordering a 1000w when i order the monitor it will save me problems later 🤞🤞
