So right now my pc specs are:
AMD FX-6350 6-core processor
AMD XFX RX 580 8GB
ASRock 960GM-VGS3 FX Motherboard
8GB of DDr3 Ram
Thermaltake 600w power supply
I am looking to upgrade my CPU, Motherboard, and RAM. I am trying to stay under a $260-280 price point for all of them together. I was looking around Amazon cause thats where I’m going to get the parts I want, and I found three options for motherboards and a few options for Cpus. I want to find the best combination for the best price point. I already decided on getting 2x4gb of DDr4 Ram at 2666MHz from Patriot that costs $38.99. So, all I really need help with is picking the best cpu and motherboard to best work with the rest of my system.
Here are the CPUs I’m looking at:
AMD Ryzen 5 2600x - $147.00
AMD Ryzen 7 2700 - $186.69
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 - $197.85
Here are the Motherboards I’m looking at:
Gigabyte B450M DS3H - $73.99
Gigabyte GA-A320M-S2H - $54.99
ASRock B450M-HDV - $64.99
I know which CPUs are “better” but is the extra performance worth the extra money?
I don’t care for the extra slots in the DS3H motherboard, so which of them would work best with whatever CPU?
If there is some other cpu out there that is better than these and still around the same price point and will work with my system, let me know. I am not by any means really knowledgeable about this stuff so help would be very much appreciated.
I just want to make sure I get the best combination of parts for less than $280.
THANK YOU!
