[Manuelgz]

I currently have a ryzen 3 2200g and My gpu is rx 580 and i'm looking to upgrade yo a rx 5700


Should i also upgrade my cpu?

If your budget allows it without giving up the 5700, yes.

Buy a cheap 2600...it'll light a fire under that rx580 and give the 5700 some legs to run...the 2200g is bottle-necking even the 580.

Depends on what you play and the specs of your current memory config. If you're already running a dual channel 3200mhz kit:
-with the RX 5700, upgrading to a Ryzen 2600 yields a 4-9% uplift(on average) depending on game settings.
-with the RX 5700, upgrading instead to a Ryzen 3600 yields a 15-32% uplift(average) depending on game settings.

If you got the money, why not?

Definitely get a better CPU. Quad core gaming is dying off. A Ryzen 1600AF would be a great step up, if you cannot afford a faster CPU, like a 3600.

Do You recomend a 2700x?.

Where i live it is only $40 more expensive than The 2600

No.

How much more is a 3600?

No.

About $70

Why not???

3-7% bump(average) over a 2600 for over 30% more - plus, depending on some other factors, the stock cooler may not be enough on the 2700X.

So for 30USD more than the 2700X, you get a cpu(3600) that is faster in both gaming and productivity - the 2700X would need to be overclocked to pass the 3600 in the productivity segment, but then you have to spend more on a cooler.
