Need help choosing a new CPU

[gantugsmk]

Budget (including currency): Around 30000 JPY

Country: Japan

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Valorant, CS2

Other details: Need a new CPU (AM4), 2 sticks of 8x2 DDR4 ram. 

 

My mismatched memory's really bugging me, and at last, I got some cash to spend on myself. 

 

My Ryzen 1700 is not enough to get stable 180+ FPS on Val and CS2. 

Can anyone recommend me a good CPU and 2 sticks of RAM under 30000 yen? 

And a good store in Japan? 

I cannot go far from Ibaraki, Hitachi but I can ask someone to buy it for me in Akihabara.

what is the used market like in Japan? Usually, a secondhand Ryzen 5 3600 is a strong upgrade from 1st generation Ryzen. Same with RAM, some DDR4 3600 would be a good choice on the used market.

 

Also, what motherboard do you have?

ROG B350F 

BIOS 6203

 

3600 seems to be 8-10k yen on second hand site.

16x2 seems to be around 7k yen secondhand.

5600x is around 14, 16k when with the box?

5700x is 20k

so should i go with 5700x, 16x2? 

also the thing is, i cannot go too far because i'm doing intern there so it's kinda risky to buy secondhand from auction sites

i also have to worry about will the shipping make it to me in time

thats the reason i want to buy from a trustable vendor (i can return it if i want to, just have to cover shipping expenses) 

 

when i come back home, there js isnt much ryzen cpus being sold seperate (i found only few ads, and thats an r5 3600 or first gen cpus) so i'll be forced to buy whatever it is.

 

sorry for my nitpicking

No need for a 5700X over the 5600X for gaming.  Grab 2x8GB 3200CL16 RAM and you're set.
