Hey guys,

 

I'm thinking on doing some upgrades soon, my main idea would be to upgrade de CPU because this one is dying in almost every game play. But if there is anything i can do with the budget that would be significative i'm down to spending a bit more

 

Thanks in advance

@Downkeyi agree with your build, apart from the psu. for 5 euros more, you can get a much better quality one.

Considering all your opinions and other from other places would you think this would be worth? I'd go for the 5600x instead but low availability everywere might be a problem as i'd preferably invest during black friday and i'm sure there will be none avail by then

I doubt they would go on sale, considering you can't find Zen 3 in stock anywhere. Some Zen 2 CPUS may go on sale, so you should prob get that, and then use the extra money for a better GPU (Used 1080 maybe?) idk

True, true. Is it worth to go for a 3600x or is there any other cpu i might keep an eye on fro promos?

Keep an eye for promos, especially on the normal 3600.
