Hello!

 

I am open for any advice, I've been delaying this upgrade plan for nearly 3 years now. Now, I've been doing a lot of thinking lately on what should I upgrade for my PC's CPU. I've decided to focus first with the CPU and to make sure that my PC is Windows 11 ready but I am not about to make the jump just yet. Since Ryzen 7th Gen is out now, my question is, is it practical for me to upgrade to Ryzen 7 3700x and stick to what I have right now? Or it would be wise to invest more towards 5th Gen Ryzen instead? Because I'm no longer updated with parts that needs to be matched up with, just to avoid bottleneck or whatnot.

 

I wish to know what are my options, that is all.

 

Lastly, I've inquired someone selling a Ryzen 7 3700x claiming to be brand new, plus it's only "tray model" (meaning doesn't include box and/or HSF). Its asking for Php 7,500 (about USD $137)

 

Thank you,

Patrick

Could push it up to a 5900x even at stock.

 

Of course better cooler is needed.

 

Half the games here would also MAJORLY benefit from a better gpu.

I would get a 5600 and a 3060 if vegas matters a lot.  That's probably gonna be the most economic upgrade.  The 5600 will bne way faster and games and slightly faster in vegas, but having CUDA and Tesnor cores on the 3060 will do more for vegas than any CPU upgrade.  The 5600 is also way cheap for what you're getting, won't need a more expensive cooler, and will allow you to get a 3060 off eBay pretty easily.  The 3060 is gonna do more than any CPU upgrade, tho.
