AMD or Intel

Hello, I am looking to upgrade my mobo and cpu, currently I have a AMD 2600 with a ASUS B450-F, not sure if this changes anything but I have an NVIDIA card and not AMD. I know that as of recent AMD has been on the rise and is far more competitive with Intel as opposed to the past, I personally am more familiar with AMD cpus and chipsets and am completely clueless as to what the Intel counterparts would be so am having a hard time comparing prices between the two brands. My budget is roughly $700 CAD would be willing to go slightly over it. Any recommendations and tips would be greatly appreciated. (Also thought id add for motherboard features id like is USB Type C as my case has a port and I currently am not using it, aswell as PCIE gen 4 as I have a 3070 and a WD Black drive where I would benefit)

 

Thanks again!

you would not benefit with pcie 4 at all with those things.

 

Since you already have a b450 board, just update the bios and get ryzen 5 5600x or 5800x.

I agree with @SavageNeo- Why introduce additional cost with a new mobo when your current one supports the latest gen AMD CPUs?

Case - Phanteks Evolv X | PSU - EVGA 650w Gold Rated | Mobo - ASUS Strix x570-f | CPU - AMD r9 3900x | RAM - 32GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 3200mhz @ 3600mhz | GPU - EVGA nVidia 2080s 8GB  | OS Drive - Sabrent 256GB Rocket NVMe PCI Gen 4 | Game Drive - WD 1tb NVMe Gen 3  |  Storage - 7TB formatted
Cooled by a crap load of Noctua fans and Corsair H150i RGB Pro XT

I was misinformed and thought I would benefit from the PCIE 4 which is why I was looking for a replacement mobo. Thank you for your insight!

yeah the SSD runs under the max speed for pcie 3.0, so getting 4.0 would be pointless.

 

also no gpu benefits from pcie 4.0 yet.
