Hello,

got some extra money right now and I thought about upgrading my Ryzen 1200 to something a little better.

 

My current specs are:

CPU - Ryzen 1200 /w SilentiumPC Fera 3 cooler

MB - MSI B450 Tomahawk

GPU - Sapphire RX570 4GB

RAM - 8GB 2933MHz

 

I'm playing at 1080p - 60Hz, so the 1200 manages most of games just fine, but there are some titles that are maxing it out.

I'm trying to decide between these:

Ryzen 5 1600 12nm refresh for ~100€

Ryzen 7 2700 for ~140€ (Includes Borderlands3/Outer Worlds + 3 Months of Game Pass which I could probably sell for like 20-30€)

Ryzen 7 2700x for ~190€ (Includes Borderlands3/Outer Worlds + 3 Months of Game Pass which I could probably sell for like 20-30€)

Ryzen 5 3600 for ~210€

 

Which one of these would be best value?

Thanks

For only 60 fps gameplay, 3rd gen ryzen isn't as important. If you upgraded to 144Hz it's something to consider, but 2nd gen ryzen shines for you.

 

Any good deals on Ryzen 5 2600 bundles?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B
