2200g upgrade

[Deuxez]

Ive had this 2200g cpu for about 4-6 months now, and i love it. I live in sweden, and the old ryzen series prices didnt drop that much when the 3rd gen got released. i feel like the 2200g doesnt fit my needs that good anymore. Ive paired it with 8gb dual channel 2666mhz ram, an xfx rx rs 480 4gb, on a asrock a320m-hdv r3.0(ik this mobo sucks but it works fine for me). Ive been looking for a new cpu, and so far ive found these:

 

ryzen 5 2600 = 140 euro - (this one is from a good online store. "Inet.se". its an returned product, so its been opened before they returned it.)

ryzen 5 2400g = 130 euro - (this one is from a danish online store called "computersalg")

ryzen 5 1600 = 130 euro - (this one is from "computersalg.se" too)

 

NOTE: All my previous parts (2200g, mobo, ram) were bought from computersalg, so it isnt a scam site. Though it took about 1 month for the parts to arrive, but thats cuz they use the most shittiest delivery company in the world, and they also didnt have the ram i wanted in stock, so that also took some time to get in. I dont have money right now, but i just wanna know which one i would go for, so i can start saving up (a little hard right now cuz im taking my driver license). I mostly play games like:

 

Minecraft vanilla/modded (some fps drops from 200 to about 30-50 sometimes, everything higest except mipmap and smooth lightning)

 

Destiny 2 (the 2200g really suffers in this game, lowest/medium settings 70fps, in some areas it drops to 20-30fps. cpu usage is around 80-100% while gpu is about 50-80%)

 

Steep (cpu doesnt like this either)

 

Unturned

 

VRchat

 

DbD

 

CSGO

 

NOTE: if yall dont recommend me upgrading, i could instead try to go for a freesync 75hz+ 1080p montior instead, that would probably my gaming experince a bit better. My friend got a 1050ti and i5 6600 and he runs minecraft so smoothly, even tho i got a cpu thats about 5% slower, and a gpu thats like 60% faster, and i run minecraft a bit stuttery. I think its only cuz he got a 144 g-sync monitor.

For the little to no price difference, go for the 2600. In the future, try to get 2x8gb sticks.

 

Good luck!

Edit: just checked here in the NL

we can buy a 2600 new for 135€ might be worth ordering here and see if they ship to Sweden. 

 

Grab a 2600 is my suggestion

Or you can even check German shops. As far as I know, since this year, shops can no longer refuse to ship to other EU countries for customers. Poor Norwegians.. : )

 

Ryzen 2600 offers Geizhals

 

second hand? Ryzen 1600 is tipically around 90euros in my country used. Still not worth it over a NEW 2600, which is knapp 129 euro now.. (with 27% VAT, being the highest in the EU, according to my knowledge...)

 

Do you have any local classifieds for PC parts?

Yeah not sure on that ruling. Lot of companies only send within their own country, unless you are a business, then they do send cross border.

here’s a new one on eBay. They for sure will

ship to Sweden 

[Vejnemojnen]

Classifieds for me: 2nd hand market offerings& used parts, buying from private persons rather than from a shop.

 

Just like here. (sorry, had to make this link, I have not been on those boards since 1.5 years!)

What, eBay? Or this listing. 

 

Didnt check, I just assumed. But try and find a 2600 new for lesser price then used in Sweden

That listing didnt, i think.

 

And ive looked around here in sweden on the used market but i can barely find any ryzen cpu at all, except for like 2 1700/2700x. But they will probably go up to 300euro when the bidding is done. I rather just buy it from the "inet" online store.

Always worth asking. For years I've bought tons of parts from germany and the UK, France. It took only a message or two to persuade the sellers. Most of the time. 

 

I can ask them, hell, i just will ask them.  Give them time to respond
