What is your full current system spec?

Given previous AMD briefings it might be likely 4th gen would require a new socket. If performance now isn't holding you back then may as well stick to what you have.

What is your full current system spec?

my full system spec:

MOBO: MSI Gaming Pro Carbon AC https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450-GAMING-PRO-CARBON-AC
CPU: ryzen 5 2400g
GPU : no GPU (going to get a 1660 super)
RAM : Corsair vengeance lpx 16gb (2*8gb) @ 3000mhz c15 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CM...&qid=1573908717&sprefix=corsai,aps,153&sr=8-5
PSU: https://www.bequiet.com/en/powersupply/927


also this is from user benchmark : https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/21780002 (my ssd is below because i done something, its normally above expectations)

Current and intended use case?

It's likely you'd need to update the BIOS to use a Ryzen 3000 series CPU with the motherboard. And it sounds like you'd need to purchase a new CPU and graphics card at the same time. Budget will, of course, be part of your consideration.

Gaming and light video editing (only do that for fun). Budget is a limiting factor, i would actually buy a 1660 super now and w8 for a while for 4th gen and buy that. But i probs wouldnt have money at that specific time to buy it (cause id always have a excuse to use my money). Asking this as would this be the best approch? IK i dont have a dedicated GPU, but i could always just let it sit in box till i actually get a dedicated GPU. till then, IGPU is what im stuck with

If your budget at the moment is an either/or choice then you're limited to the graphics card for now, and CPU later.

At the very least with a graphics card you can play games with higher settings and higher framerates in most cases. And depending on editing software it might help there too.

If budget is an issue then definitely don't wait for the newest CPU's to come out since their always the most expensive when they're new.

Ik its been a while since but, as the 1650 super is now out and its more suitable for my budget im going for that. Second how ould i go about driver installation as i have drivers for my APU. would i need to uninstall my APU drivers and install GPU or what? Im asking cause this is a APU im talking about, if it were a CPU it would be easy enough.

 

[Obakasama]

Shouldn't need to uninstall the APU drivers. Often by default the iGPU gets disabled when installing a discrete graphics card, so you install the graphics card drivers as normal.
