Hi all
I have a good ASUS MB - H370 Pro running a <gulp> i3-8100 that is maxing out frequently in some gaming sessions.
It is water cooled and sitting in a silent Fractal R6 case <silent being my favorite word>
ASUS GTX 1060 6GB GPU
16GB RAM
I'm looking to upgrade CPU (seeing as the old i3 can't handle things now)
9600K or should I save up more for a new MB and CPU combo of the Ryzen flavour?
Are the benefits worth it?
It means a new water cooling platform as well as MB and possibly RAM - so thats a fair bit more $$$ to spend - the 9600 is also 1151, so...
Does AMD command a sufficient premium to change the whole thing?
cheers
