New Upgrade from Ryzen 3 1300x

[ezdeath4u.yt]

The ryzen 3 1300x works great, but in almost all games, it's maxed at 100% on all cores and the GPU is at around 60-70%. I was thinking about getting the ryzen 5 1600 but I don't know if it is the best value. Budget is around 200$ but no more. I am basically looking for the best price to performance ryzen 5.

newegg has ryzen 2600 for 199 usd, since you already has a 1300x, you can upgrade the bios with ease.

which motherboard are you using? i think 2600 draws a bit more power than 1600 stock.

Msi b350 gaming pro carbon

yea, vrm is a bit weak on this board, i would say 2600 stock is fine, but don't expect to overclock as much as it will stress the vrm too much.

Actually no the Msi b350 Gaming Pro Carbon has the same VRM setup as a X370 Pro Carbon which is a 8+2 phase VRM design and is perfectly capable of a 4ghz O.C while retaining a decent Temp. No it's not going to melt down this isn't the FX line where you have to deal with crappy 700 series boards and underwhelming 970 chipsets. This is actually one of the better B350 boards out there. The issue with MSI and overclocks was software related which they have worked out now, frankly you can take any b350 board on the market and easily take a 1600/1600x/2600/2600x to 4ghz regardless of the VRM's they are all sufficient for these chips.

oops, my bad, somehow i read it as b350m pro carbon, yes the b350 pro carbon is much stronger.
