I would keep what you have unless the performance is lacking, why not buy shiny new GPU or more RGB fans swoosh! :3

Got enough RGB for now Performance is the main issue lol

Tried finding those too, seems like no one is really selling computer parts in my country. Only older gen stuff.

 

The current combination i'm looking at is a Ryzen 3600x with the MSI B450 Tomahawk max. (price difference with the 3600 is a little since I get a good discount with the 3600x)

I believed more RGB made it go faster... Well what about GPU? You can look at RTX 3000 or AMDs new RDNA2 cards. ✌

No don't get a 3600x bad value

Keep the x299 until maybe something worth it comes 

Get a 3600 and a b450 pro4 should be decent

then a 3600 it'll be. I will keep the X299 for sure. It's honestly a beautiful board  and capable of much more than I'm currently using it for. After the summer I'll have a big influx of money so I'd be able to buy something decent!

Good luck with your build

One more thing

If your planning on building this one later wait for b550 it will have more robust vrm solution if you need it now get the pro 4 and the 3600

Thank you very much. Will be my second AMD build in short time lol. And I will be building it tomorrow hopefully, since I rather have the performance increase now than in a few months haha

 

Fun fact is that my coworker is running a 2600, comparing times is funny, he does about 3 minutes about the workload (Can't say much about it since it's confidential) and I do currently more than 15 minutes, sometimes even longer.
