[SOLVED] Ryzen 5 2600 ----> Ryzen 5 3600. Is new mobo needed?

[kubacapo]

Hi,

My specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600
MOBO: gigabyte a320m-hd2
GPU: GeForce GTX 980
RAM: 16GB DDR 3000Mhz
PSU: EVGA 500W 80 bronze


I want to change CPU for a 3rd gen (3600) and a GPU for GTX 1080.

Tell me should I buy a new MOBO? I know that a320 which I have is compatible (https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-A320M-HD2-rev-10#kf ) because of AM4. I probably have only to update BIOS.

I don't want to slow down new CPU or sth. I cannot find an answer anywhere (except this YT video

).

IMO changing my MOBO will be waste of money.
What do you think about this guys?

Greetz,
Kuba

Look at the bright side: it's still an upgrade. Our advice was just to try and prevent you from an inefficient expense. Some people ignore our advice when there's a legitimate safety issue involved!

Yeah, I understand. I know that my upgrade wasn't best choice I could make but it also wasn't worst idea ever
