8core

I'm planning on building a new pc mid december for around €500-€600, and I found this black friday deal with a Ryzen 7 1700x for €100. It has 8c/16t which would probably be the best I can get, but it's pretty old. I'll prob mix it with a 1660S and 16GB ram.

I have a gaming computer i put together in 2015 or so, and it has became almost unusable it runs so slow and laggy, and glitchy sometimes freezing and requiring a restart, i still have windows 7 on it could that be it? i haven't messed with it in sometime for me to think somehow i did it. it...

So I'm thinking of buying a Q6600 CPU.. Will it be better than my current E8400 CPU?

Ok I'm not a complete computer idiot, used to build my own, have built quite a few actually. But 12 hour work days 80+ hours a week has slowly pushed me out of the know and into the "I kinda know". I need to make a few upgrades, but I'll start with my current rig info for you. OS: Windows 7...
