Question Cpu ugrade

[derstroyer56]

im looking to buy a new cpu as my i5-7400 cant handle many modern games and multitasking at the same time so i was wondering if ugrading to a ryzen 5 3600 would improve alot or if i would have to buy a ryzen 7 or i7

A R5 3600 would massively help. It performs like an I7 8700k, so probably no reason to go with a better CPU unless you need a toooon of performance.

3600 or 3600x would be a great improvement. Google ryzen 3600x vs i7 8700k. They are pretty much equal.

You will also need a new AM4 motherboard.

The R5-3600 is a complete bargain, giving about ~96% of the performance of the 3800X for $199....or less.

That's only for single core performance, multi core is about 50% in 3800x's favor.
