And he showed an overclocked r3 1200 (3.8 GHz i think), which means r3 1300x will perform even worse than that.

what about the ryzen 5 1600/x

I've tried searching for benchmarks like this, but because my cpu isnt the newest thing they are hard to find

1600 has 6 cores, it will be better than your i5.

yes, get ryzen 1400 (4/8) or ryzen 1600 (6/12)

1400 and even 1500x aren't much better to be honest.

all ryzen 3 cpus will be a downgrade, the 1400 and 1500x will be sidegrades and the 1600 series and above will be an upgrade. if you're just gaming, an i7 47xx or e3 123x v3 will be a better upgrade.

i looked.. the cheapest i've found is $420 but its part of a pc

 

 

Also. I'm looking for a new PSU (because my current one is actually one of the worst things ever)

is that good ??

keeping in mind it'd be $64 because of 20% off code

not sure about the quality of that PSU, I'd get a cx450m instead unless you can find a review of it.

More of a side-grade.

Ryzen 3 are roughly Haswell i5s, Ryzen 5 quad-cores are roughly Haswell i7s.

 

Then you have DDR3 vs DDR4, exact amount of cache, this game, that benchmark, etc, but that is the ballpark.
