[SOLVED] 3900x with a b450 gaming plus max

[Ducky190]

I have a gaming plus max from MSI and I am planing to upgrade my processor Ram and gpu, my current are ryzen 5 2600, 2070 super and 8gb of ram and I’m planning to wait for the 3070 and upgrade to a 3900x with 16gb of ram but I don’t want to upgrade my motherboard which is a b450 gaming plus max, so I was wondering if it would still work and if u recommend a better processor that I can get with ram under 500$ please tell me as long as all the cooler and the motherboard which I will have to buy for intel will be under 500$. And I play Fortnite, valorant , Minecraft and rainbow, but mainly Fortnite, so keep in mind for Fortnite performance.

Well I personally don't think the Ryzen 9 3900X is a good pick. This is more of a workstation CPU than a gaming CPU. A Ryzen 3 3300X or a Ryzen 7 3700X will be your best picks. Otherwise, go Intel.

Ok I think I’ll do 3700x thanks for ur time

Take a look at that first, the EFPS is the FPS after compensating for frame drops(to get an Effective FPS as they call it)

This video also helps. You'll notice that CSGO has a huge difference, but some others don't. To get the most out of AMD CPUs for gaming, you'll need faster RAM. The trade off is cheaper motherboard.
