AM5? So soon? I would hope AMD does an AM4+ first...I feel like Ryzen just came out! I will most likely be going with the 3600 unless the 3700X has a good deal at the time of purchase. I feel like CPU's age better than GPU's do to constant changing game offerings. I do a wide range of games. Right now, running any newer titles make the 270 suffer more and more, My friend plays VR chat and I was horrified at the stuttering!

The 8320 is a dog today, it was a sub $200 CPU. Single core performance sucks, makes day to day tasks slow. A $200 CPU will blow this out of the water. I couldn't understand most of what that guy was saying. Thank you for the support nonetheless!

I know that, I will be upgrading the whole system, but I'd like to start now anyways. 2. It is Rosewill 750 80 Gold modular. I made sure to get the best PSU, case, and fans when I first built it. I spent a good amount of money on components I wouldn't have to upgrade for a long time. I just didn't realize how crap the FX series was especially single core performance. I wish the AM3+ would've had one more solid refresh before AMD gave up on it. Oh well. It would be nice if I could've gotten some of that refund from AMD after the lawsuit.

Hello LTT Forum, I just joined. I'm stuck! Here's my dilemma, I have the current system: ASUS Mobo with FX-8320 - I know is weak CPU by todays standards especially in single core performance. 16 GB Ram 1866 MHz Radeon R9 270 non-X 2 GB - 3Dmark of mid 4000s 480 SSD 1 TB Barracuda Plenty of cooling and big case. Which should I upgrade FIRST? The GPU: To RX 590 8 GB? $180 'or' GTX 1660 $200 both have a 3D score double of the R9 270 OR The Meat - CPU, MOBO, RAM: AM4 B450 3rd gen Ryzen, RAM. while keeping the R9 270 $200-$250~ Summary: Would the new GPU show an increase in playability in games without being choked by the FX-8320 too much? OR Should I upgrade the CPU etc now and keep the R9 270 for now? Has anyone done this? I know single score will be much better with a similar multi core score. Even today I know that games like a solid single core score. What are your results and experience? I can only do one or the other right not and not the whole system.
