Hello everyone,

In my build I currently have an MSI GTX 1050 Gaming X Graphics Card and my CPU is an AMD A6-9500 Dual-Core at 3.5Ghz. When I got the graphics card and installed all the drivers, I was getting 60 fps in Fortnite at medium settings with a few settings a bit higher, but now I have had to put everything on low setting and I get stutters and hitches and my game will even crash which never used to happen. So I thought that I should maybe get a Ryzen 5 1500x so it should be able to remove the bottleneck on my Graphics Card and also so I can Record/Stream my games. So is a Ryzen going to help or will it only have minor improvements.

Thanks.

 

EDIT: My Motherboard is an Asus A320M-K

But will it still work?

Yes, but there's not much cost benefit of choosing an A320 board over a B350 board when B350 is way better.

Will it perform the same as with a B350 board?

It should, as long as you don't want to overclock it at all.

I wasn't planning on overclocking, will there be any performance decrease?

I don't think so.

Also will my gtx 1050 be bottlenecked or anything?

Nope. I'd recommend getting a Ryzen 5 1600 or 1400 though, for the best value.

Thanks for clearing that up.

As was stated already, the cost savings of A320 are not worth it over a B350 motherboard. Support should be better as well.
