i5 3330 to Ryzen 5 1600

[lszin331]

Looking to upgrade to Ryzen 5 1600 from my existing i5-3330. I would mainly use this pc for gaming and some light multitasking. I'm hoping to be playing on VR on this pc too in the future. Is this upgrade worth it or should i aim higher ?

Ryzen is definitly good CPU, some others may suggest R2400G but R5 1600 is pretty good.

I highly suggest getting a new PSU. Those cooler master elite units are very poor quality and their small 12v rating makes them closer to a 350w PSU than a 500w unit.
