Hi, i have updated the bios and it has immediately made a difference, i will definitely see for a couple days if this actually fixed anything of course, but thanks for the help.

Sure, i will try that.

I have not yet made any changes to the bios since i bought it, except enabling XMP and setting up boot priorities.

Ohh sorry, i missed that, its an MSI B450M Pro M2 V2

Hi Everyone, ever since i upgraded my PC to a Ryzen 5 3600 based build, my PC does not boot without "Assistance", let me explain, usually a PC just posts once you have pressed the power button, it doesn't happen for me. my power on led in the power button does not come on right away but all case fans spin and everything RGB lights up as normal, but for some reason i have to do a mouse click or press keys on the keyboard multiple times and it just boots up most of the time. i am concerned it might be my power supply failing, i did some research and found that a faulty power switch could be the culprit, i have however eliminated that possibility by jumping the motherboard on, same issue. i would really appreciate some thoughts on this issue, possibly even a solution if someone has faced this issue and managed to fix it, Specs are mentioned below. Also- thoughts on the Antec NE650M V2 as a replacement power supply if needed. PSU- Corsair VS550 RAM- Adata RBG Spectrix 16 gb 3000Mhz CPU- Ryzen 5 3600 HDD & SSD- WD Blue 1 TB and Kingston Sata 500GB GPU- GTX 1060 6gb Motherboard- MSI B450M Pro M2 V2 Case (if it helps)- Antec GX505.

Not that restricted with the budget, really don't want to upgrade 1 year down the line with a slight increment so i would probably go for the R5 1600 unless something cheaper and better comes along at 7th July, which i doubt since every new product comes with the early adopter tax.

Yup, i checked online and the R5 1600 will cost approx. $155 US. how does that compare to Canada or the US ?

not really, no, India probably doesn't even have microcenters.

Thanks for all the great replies, i would probably wait till the 7th of July for the new releases now, and i checked out the Ryzen 5 1600, seems a much better value, lets see the new releases and make a decision.

Hi Everyone, i am looking to buy a very budget CPU mainly for gaming and light productivity tasks, i have come down to 2 processors as above, the I3 9100F (4C/4T) and the Ryzen 5 1400(4C/8T), my initial research shows that the I3 9100F is more powerful and has better performance than the Ryzen 5, the only thing i am not sure is if i should prefer Ryzen 5 just for the multi-threading ? I would also like to mention i would be doing some emulation (CEMU, RPCS3, Citra, etc.)

cool thanks

Thanks guys, the radeon situation is such that i am getting the rx 570 4gb for the same price as a gtx 1060 6gb so i should go for the gtx 1060 6 gb in your opinion ?

should i go for the gtx 1060 3/6gb or the RX 470 4gb i just want to game at 1080p at high settings (ultra if possible) for at least the next 2 years and am on a tight budget here, which one can i go for ??

Hey, thanks for the video, has a lot of great info here, so to summarize as Nvidia is the bigger beast here it can more or less make most game devs do anything, and given my weak CPU, the always on Multi threaded workload of would be better, so the green team is a better choice ??

Sure, I'll keep that in mind.
