considering upgrading cpu

[Tottenstein]

i have an i7 7700 paired with an RTX 2060 would i see an performance upgrade from upgrading my cpu to the AMD Ryzen 3600X 

(im considering this chip thanks to a sale on a bundle for both motherboard ,cpu and ram for around 430 dollar)

Depends on what games and what performance target. The i7 7700 is by no means a bad gaming chip.

7700 non-K?

The 3600X will be quite a bit faster, but it would depend on what you're doing on that PC if it will actually be an improvement.

i.e. most games won't improve much in performance (other than CPU bound games, like CS:GO, Minecraft, etc. which would see a boost in performance).

Of course tasks like video editing might improve too, unless your program/codec can use QuickSync.

 

So overall it depends on what you're doing

 

If you're going to the 3600X, be sure to get fast (3200Mhz+) memory.

would it be bad to go with 2666mhz ram ?
the games i play i really feel a diffrence playing the games that are more cpu demanding and just upgrading to the 7700k would be about the same price as getting the 3600x with motherboard and 16 gb more ram

 

i have also noticed that for example playing the new cod and other games my cpu is spiked at 100%

i know its not a bad chip its just if its powerful enough to be paired with the 2060 
and getting this 3600X i know that even if i where to upgrade my GPU to a 2080ti it would still be powerful to cope with it

Like I said, depends entirely on the games and the performance target. My brother is currently rocking a Titan X pascal, a bit more powerful than a 2060, and a 7700, and it's quite the rig.

I must repeat:

 

that depends entirely on the game and performance target

 

so what resolution, what titles? We can't possibly just look at components and give you a general FPS number.

you'll do just fine with that i7. I say hold off until the newest CPUs release after next gen, Ryzen 5000 series and such.

okey thanks man but just curious would 2666mhz ram be a bottle neck for ryzen or do just fine

Since third gen Ryzen lets you manually overclock the infinity fabric (Fclock) you can use slower ram and still get good performance. You can also just overclock your ram. Either way, just try it first and see if the performance meets your standards, then consider upgrading afterwards.

3200MhzC14 or 3600MhzC16 is still the best options, but the prices tend to be much higher.

I think 3200MhzC16 is the best option to go for.

 

2666Mhz yield quite a bit lower fps.
