Gaming and cpu's trolls in my mind

[ReadyPlayerOne]

This topic could sound a little wierd, i feel like trolls are joke my mind, probably i just watch too much videos

I've a good pc for gaming ryzen 2600 paired with a 2070s on 1440p monitor, and i'm pretty happy with it, BUT

But i'm not really convinced about cpu, i'm not against or unsatisfied my ryzen, but i'm thinking if a stronger cpu like a ryzen 9 or a 9900k will make a difference.

I'm not thinking about change my cpu anytime soon, i'm just thinking about what to do in the future when i will change my system, going for a price/performance ryzen 2600 like or buy a stronger system?

Keep in mind i usually do not change my system too often, but i prefear to buy something good and use it till it became really old, something like 6-7 years

 

What's your thought?

check your CPU/GPU usage when you're gaming.

if they are both in the higher end of the percentage you are looking at a well tuned system. if one is substantially lower than the other you're looking at a bottleneck.

 

personally i don't think you should be looking at a better CPU. the 2600 is a very capable gaming chip, and it'll run your 2070 Super no problem. 

maybe when you upgrade your GPU in the future you might want to look into something that clocks a bit higher, tough i doubt you'll  need more than 6 cores for a long time.

Back when 1080ti launched everyone's still on the 6700k or 7700k, so GPU much more expensive than CPU theory still stands

Unless you're doing a lot of highly multithreaded productivity stuff the 2600 will be completely fine, stop worrying about it.

What ram speed are you on?  If you are really neurotic about this type of stuff, Check mobo's QVL for Ryzen 2000 and get a atleast 2933, ideally 3200 speed kit if you dont have one.  if there is a affordable enough option (spending 200$ on ram when you could just buy Zen 2 R5 would be dumb), you'll be within a few, 5-10% of a R5 3600 in most titles, in some titles straight matching its performance.  

If you absolutely felt you HAD TO upgrade right now a 3800x at about 330$ (or 110% more expensive then 3700x, rather then 133%) would be all you would want if you could find one, but if not then 3700x is way better value. I wouldn't worry about the R5 3600 as intermediate upgrade, or on the extreme end going ham for a of 3900x etc unless you actually do production work.  I'd just hold out for Ryzen 4000 if your mobo's decent enough

Thanks for the tips, now i'm more relaxed, my ram already are @3200 i could even go higher if needed but i dunno if it's usefull with ryzen 2xxx, what do you think?

1440p, 2070....you won't really notice a difference between the 2600 and most of the other chips.

 

Unless it's stock settings, at which point it's because the stock boost on the 65w 2600 sucks.

 

OC to 4ghz+ and it should be fine. Just like the 2600x.

I'd honestly sit tight with your system for now, at 1440P with a 2070 you're going to be gpu-bound in most games, and the ones you aren't it isn't like you're going to be getting bad performance out of a 2600. Slower than some new gen stuff sure, but still completely acceptable. If it were me, I'd wait it out till at least Zen 3 releases, and see if anything strikes your fancy then. But I personally think it's a bit early to be considering an upgrade from a 2600, it's still a damn fine chip.
