Hello all, 

I have Pentium G4560 on Msi B250-m motherboard, 16g 2400 (2×8) and gtx 1050ti,  i recently upgraded to Gtx 1070 founder Edition. I am looking for Cpu upgrade? I am ok with platformer upgrade.

I use my pc mainly gaming and light Photoshop.

My budget is $400-$500

 

Any recommendations?

 

Thank you for any help you can provide

8400 with B360 mobo. I dont recommend Ryzen 5 2600 because its further upgrades benefit in workstation use more than games. An 8700 might exceed the budget, but it's the best choice if it doesnt.

CPU: i7-2600K 4751MHz 1.44V (software) --> 1.47V at the back of the socket Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (BCLK: 103.3MHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: Adata XPG 2x8GB DDR3 (XMP: 2133MHz 10-11-11-30 CR2, custom: 2203MHz 10-11-10-26 CR1 tRFC:230 tREFI:14000) GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual (Super Jetstream vbios, +70(2025-2088MHz)/+400(8.8Gbps)) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (main boot drive), Transcend SSD370 128GB PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold Case: Antec P110 Silent, 5 intakes 1 exhaust Monitor: AOC G2460PF 1080p 144Hz (150Hz max w/ DP, 121Hz max w/ HDMI) TN panel Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion (Cherry MX Blue) with SteelSeries Apex M260 keycaps Mouse: BenQ Zowie FK1

 

Model: HP Omen 17 17-an110ca CPU: i7-8750H (0.125V core & cache, 50mV SA undervolt) GPU: GTX 1060 6GB Mobile (+80/+450, 1650MHz~1750MHz 0.78V~0.85V) RAM: 8+8GB DDR4-2400 18-17-17-39 2T Storage: HP EX920 1TB PCIe x4 M.2 SSD + Crucial MX500 1TB 2.5" SATA SSD, 128GB Toshiba PCIe x2 M.2 SSD (KBG30ZMV128G) gone cooking externally, 1TB Seagate 7200RPM 2.5" HDD (ST1000LM049-2GH172) left outside Monitor: 1080p 126Hz IPS G-sync

 

Desktop benching:

Cinebench R15 Single thread:168 Multi-thread: 833

it would be much more cost effective if you bought a used  i5 6500, i5 7500, i7 6700 or i7 7700  or even a K sku cpu , you dont need to overclock it, its higher stock clock will do you wonders going forward

 

a platform upgrade seems unnecessary and expensive for your pc usage

Just buy a i7-7700 for now and save up for something better.

Cheapest performance is a 6700/7700 non k as you can't OC on your current motherboard.  That would be a good match (no bottleneck) to your 1070.

Anything else will take a new MOBO, but I agree with an 8400 if you upgrade that.

You can probably get the ryzen 5 and a decent motherboard for that price with the stock cooler. The stock cooler does the job just fine so you don't need a replacement cooler and the performance is about the same as the 7.

I thought about ryzen cooler not the issue i have a hyper 212 but the memory speed is mu only issue with ryzen since it depend on so much and the kit i have is only 2400 speed. So changing to ryzen properly mean i need new memory.

If you look around you can probably find a better deal.

you already have a decent motherboard and RAM so just upgrade your CPU to a i7-6700 or i7-7700 and you'll be golden, these are plenty powerful enough and they are faster than Ryzen anyways.

It's worth mentioning, I don't think the normal Hyper 212 comes with the AM4 bracket mounts. But i know the 212 LED Black Edition does as that's what I got recently for my own Ryzen build (personally the Wraith cooler was too noisy).
