Question i5 CPU to Ryzen 7?

[daf4lifeyt]

Hey, so I am planning to switch to Ryzen 7 2700x from intel i5 4670K. Is it worth upgrading to Ryzen? I play games such as Rainbow Six Siege, edit videos, use photoshop, code etc... (Which means, I would have to change the motherboard, buy ddr4 ram etc...) What are your thoughts?

My current PC build:
• Intel i5 4670K (4 Cores, 4 Threads) Boosted to 4Ghz
• GIGABYTE Z97X-GAMING 5 Motherboard LGA 1150
• 16GB DDR3 1600Mhz (Corsair)
• GTX 1070 8GB
• CoolerMaster CPU Cooler
• 500GB m.2 SSD
• 128GB SSD
• 2TB HDD
• 1TB HDD
• CoolerMaster 600W PSU
• NZXT H700 Case

(If you are wondering why I have so much storage, I upgraded my 128GB ssd to 500GB but I went with m.2 ssd, from 1TB to 2TB but I left them in for more haha)

Go for 3rd generation ryzen.

Whether you get a 2700x or 3700x there will be a noticeable improvement over the 4670k, but the 3rd generation CPU is a better buy.

Even a 3600 is generally better than the 2700x

You see, I am trying to stay in a budget so I can't go for the 3700x keep in mind, I would have to change motherboards ($$), ddr4 ram ($$) as well as the cpu itself. ($$)

The 3600 will be better than the 2700x in most scenarios. The 3600 isn't usually more expensive than the 2700x.

4790k is fine unless you plan on doing lots of video editing. I personally had a 4790k up until a few months ago. It's perfectly fine for if you wanna share your gameplay videos occasionally. It's still plenty of cpu for the GTX 1070. It's even fine for Battlefield V and that game needs a good cpu.
