Question New CPU

[FrazerLaser]

Looking to get a new processor for my pc as I’m currently running a 1300x with a 2060, what would be a sensible upgrade. I’m thinking a Ryzen 5 2600, is that a good upgarde?

If your in the US you can get a 1700 for cheaper then the 2600.

I’m in the UK so I think they are the same price but I haven’t checked

It's a sort of small upgrade, but if you believe it's worth doing, go for it. You might need a BIOS update, though, as you're moving from Ryzen 1 to 2.

There close, per PCPer only £5 difference.

How desperate are you to upgrade? Ryzen 3 is on the horizon and leaks so far say it will be a significant step up from 2nd gen. Problem is we dont know the release date but its expected before August.

Ok I’ll probably just be best waiting for that then cause I’m not very desperate for an upgrade at the moment
