1 you will need new cpu , mobo , ram anyway.

2. intel chips are quite old , 9400f.... and locked... and hot thermals due to bad thermal paste, while ryzen have none of these issue at 0 cost and most important , all ryzen have multithreading

3. you get oc cpu and ram with ryzen cheapo and good mobo ~ $80 up

4. assume zen3 must be better than zen2, at ipc +15% , gaming will be better than intel

5. stock coolerof ryzeen is great

 

finally pick both sys intel and ryzen , at same price, see what you get

Thanks bro!

if you upgrade cpu you need a new mobo and the fps difference wont be as big, look at used market for a gpu 1080/70/1660S/5600

I would need to upgrade the mobo if I'm looking for a 10th gen cpu , except I'm not.. Do you think it's still worth upgrading to something like an i5 9400/f or i7 9700?

Budget (including currency): 200USD

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 

Purely for gaming.

Upcoming triple A games such as Cyberpunk 2077.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):

I have an existing i3 8100, gtx 1060 6gb, and a 3200mhz ram. Should I upgrade the cpu or the gpu first? I really have put my self in a bit of a pickle here. Thought anyone here could help. Thanks!

If it is there’s probably not a lot that can be done.  Parts for laptops are notoriously hard to find.

Yeah I'm well aware.. Just a bit disappointed at myself on this one. Thanks bud!

Driver issue sounds like.  Maybe finding some old drivers might help.  I’ve had issues with old GPUs and new OS stuff.  

I actually have tried to install legacy drivers and such, no luck. been stuck with the same issue for quite awhile now. thinking that it's on the hardware side..

I have a pretty old laptop that was given to me by my Father. It's a SONY VAIO PCSB19GG.

I have completely done a fresh windows 10 pro installation on it. Every time I am trying to use my dedicated AMD gpu the screen just goes black and never goes back to normal. But when I use the integrated intel HD , I face no problems. I have tried uninstalling with DDU a couple of times already yet the problem still persists. I have a bit of knowledge about computers and troubleshooting but this time I just need some help. Any inputs would be appreciated.

PS. I also can't find any BIOS download from the manufacturer's website itself as it have been apparently obsolete for quite awhile now.
