amd Should I upgrade? Some Help Needed

[SavageTech]

So im currently running on a  AMD FX-6350 And I need some help because i do not know if i should upgrade to get better performance because im also running an gtx 1050 Ti So i dont know if its being bottlenecked...

 

im also running on 12 gb Of ddr3 of hyper X 1333 

 

considered Ram Pricing and a new motherboard i have to get with it is it worth it to buy a new motherboard + processor + Ram?

 

Edit: Im A gamer so i mainly play games.

What's your budget/country for a new CPU? a basic upgrade to a modern system is going to run like $99 + $75 + $80

well My budget is around 150 - 200 but with ram prices being so high its almost impossible...

The 1050ti,

I also just upgraded half a year ago, From a FX-8350 it a Ryzen 5 1600, + New motherboard + 16gb of RAM.

I do not notice any difference, Need to upgrade the GPU to really notice anything.

 

Was it worth the upgrade?

 

Hell no. 
I paid like 600$ Canadian.

Hardly notice anything.

If you look at it based on economy, then the only thing that for me would make sense is upgrading the CPU, you have a pretty new GTX that at least can run low-mid settings in all new games (I have a 1050Ti in one of my old builds too) and as you said, RAM prices are also pretty stupid atm.

 

So I would chime in on finding a FX 8350 and OC it to 4.2-4.5, should give you a good bump over the CPU you have now.

Look at eBay and other used sites, other people are upgrading just like you and maybe they have a higher budget and changes platform, selling off their old CPUs

Your new CPU should be like 50% faster in games, I assume you don't set everything to low for max fps

You're only off by like $50 for a basic ryzen system

hmmm well okay but the thing is that my friend is currently running on a ryzen 3 1600X and is running about 800 fps on minecraft and with mine running at about 250 ... ( Btw i dont play minecraft anymore but we used it for comparison..

[That_Dutch_Guy]

Considering that the 1050Ti can pull a 160 FPS in GTA V at 1080p medium and the FX-6350 around 95,

I'd say there are some definite gains to be had in upgrading the CPU, but that all depends on the rest of your setup.

dang, thats an interesting proposal, i guess you are talking about adding the already owned 1050ti into that mix right? the 2200 should be kind of weak on graphics

Ask this question to yourself:
Are you still happy with how your games are running?

Yes? Then don't upgrade.

No? Upgrade.

Motherboard may need a BIOS update, but all of them should have been updated by this point.

You can get it down to 25$ if you want to sacrifise a bit of CPU performance by using slower single channel ram

then ill upgrade but the thing is my GPu is clearly good enough to run high end games in medium settings bso thats why i think my Cpu is the bottleneck...

have you considered only upgrading CPU then and save more money for a full MB/CPU/RAM replacement later on? Like, get a FX8350 and OC the dope out of it, can be found pretty cheaply used and you can reuse the rest of the build you are sitting on

have considered that but what  kind of boost in performance will i get?

Just wonderning: Wouldn't the R5 1400 be a better choice. Its clockspeed is lower but he can overclovk it with that B250 motherboard. And prices are about the same where I live.

EDIT: And since he has a 1050Ti he doesn't need the integrated GPU.

Not worth it, besides that you could just get a cheaper dual channel kit

also you have mail in rebates turned on.

Complete waste of money to upgrade to an FX 8 core

Can look for used better Ryzen CPUs on ebay, I got an R5 1400 for $99
