Do not get the 1700x at that price, aim for the 5000 series Ryzen chips, as they have huge gains in single core performance

Much better price/performance options out right now than the 1700X. Such as 11400/F
For future posts please post the PCPP link as the forum will automatically convert it into a list where we can see prices and edit it fairly easily.

Here is a list with a 5600X (which you might need to wait/stalk around the market for) 



Going off that, if you do want a CPU that is readily available and doesn't perform too far off the 5600X i'd recommend this build:

It would be fine, but again, aim for 5000 series.

This is a bad computer for that money.

 

Old frist gen ryzen is not worth the money at all

The cooler is overpriced and you really don't need it

Overpriced mediocre b450 board

No need for 32gb of ram especially rgb ram

Ssd is good

Good luck finding a card

Bad case. Bad airflow don't get it

Decent psu can do better

 

Why the need for an upgrade so soon?

 

 

Either way I would just stick with the pc you have now. It's still pretty good. You can't get gpu's now anyways so yeah don't. I would just hold out and then get the 4060ti or whatever it's called when it launches or a 3000 series card when they come down.

 

Either way the critique of the build still stands. It's a bad computer for the money and has bad parts even if you manage to get the gpu.

 

This is a lazy copy paste but this build is a better gaming pc overall (from a budget pc post answer I gave form a week ago):

 

No gpu included.

I'd argue that the list I've sent is much better value than this one (with the GPU being cut from the price) Also this list doesn't have an iGPU (UHD 730 > 630 for 20 USD more) def worth it.
It would end up cheaper but with a CPU that heavily outperforms the 10400 on locked B460 2666

Oh yeah it is I was writing the post before you posted. Again lazy copy paste of a system. The 10400f doesn't even have a gpu. The person I got this for had a extreme budget (swapped to the rm750 here) and already had a r9 280x.
