  1. Thank you, that helped a lot. I was already itching for getting a new CPU Thank you, a few euros more for faster RAM might be a good idea. I guess i only have to decide on 3600 or 3600X then. But i do have one more question, regarding the MB: I've seen a lot of people recommending the B450 Tomahawk, but to me its not quite clear what the advantages are compared to the B450-A Pro MAX for example. I already compared them on the msi website, but for me its not really obvious why the Tomahawk is better for my use case.
  2. Budget (including currency): 300 - 400 € Country: Germany Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 1080p FPS/RPG Gaming, (Battlefield V, Witcher III, ...) I am currently looking into upgrading my system, mainly because i recently bought Battlefield V and my current setup seems to struggle a lot with it (constantly low fps). This upgrade has been a long time coming, as you can imagine by the somewhat "dusty" components of my build. The decision i am facing is whether to upgrade Mainboard+CPU+RAM or go for a new GPU. I suspect the CPU and RAM to be the bottleneck in this situation, since the components really are quite old, but before blindly making an investment that doesn't help much in the end, i just wanted to get some opinions on this. Relevant Specs: GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 970 Zotac CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 @4 X 3.2 GHz RAM: 2x4GB DDR3, 1333 MHz MB: msi 870A-G54 PSU: 630 Watt Xilence Performance A Series Non-Modular 80+ For the CPU upgrade path i was thinking of something like this (~ 360 €): CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X MB: msi B450-A Pro MAX RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2666 DIMM CL16 (Dual Kit) I haven't yet looked into suitable GPUs. I would really appreciate some advice on which way to go here, let me know if you have any further questions.
