From 0 To Something - Upgrade

[Lau Thai Ming]

So. I'm looking to building a whole new desktop/pc from scratch by following this guide. ( Changing the case , cpu and gpu )

But I stumble across a problem. Is ... Ryzen 5 2600 enough for me? Well now I'm using Lenovo Y520 stock but with ram upgrade.
I need a good CPU to run 2~3 android emulators. Whenever I open 3rd emulator (With many program running in the background YouTube, WhatsApp, etc. ), my CPU usage is starting to reaching it's limit. All emulator starting to losing it's fps (I want that sweet 60 fps). So, should I go for 2600 or just go ham with 3600. 

 

 

( Also, English is not my main language, so ... yeah )

The 3600 is a good 15-18% faster. If you can afford the difference, get that

I think that solves most of the problem. Next question comes. Can I not BIOS upgrade ASRock B450 pro4 to install Ryzen 3000-series CPU? 

(My experience on PC building is none, since i'm a laptop user)

Yes, but to upgrade its bios you need a first or second gen ryzen cpu. But the board may come already updated

yes you can. tho with that board you need to update the Bios with a second gen chip.
