[SOLVED] Should i swap to ryzen or just buy and intel cpu

[mrfeed]

Hey i just bought a used gtx 1070 to pair it with my i3-8100 which is sure to be a bottleneck . so i was wondering should i get stronger intel cpu which should be cheaper(like an i5 from 8th gen) but not that great or swap to r5 3600 which is way better imo but a lot more expensive since i would have to buy ram,mobo and CPU as well , it's worth the hazzle?
pd:i'm planning so tplay some games like mh world, gta v , rdr2 on 1080´/1440p mid-high settings

specs
Cpu-i38100
mobo:Gygabyte b360m dsh3
ram: hyperx 8x1 2400 mhz
psu: Evga bronze 500 w
ssd: kingston 240gb hyperx
hdd: 1tb toshiba Adata
gpu: aorus gtx 1070
case :idk ;s

I would upgrade the CPU.
There are lots of CPUs that will work with your MB that are significantly faster.
I think it will be less headache than going AMD.
Here are the compatible CPUs.

Cheaper to upgrade the cpu and gpu.

I'd also recomend a new PSU.

so for around the same price of a r53600 i could get an i5-9400f . you guys think it would be good?

The i5 9400f is inferior, to the R5 3600. I wouldn't consider anything less than an i7 8700, from Intel. Your single channel ram is not helping you any. Your PSU isn't very good quality either.

I suggest you buy your GTX1070 and see how you do.
Yes, the 3600 is better but you will also need to buy a new motherboard.
I think I would look at the i5-9600KF. for less.
You can not overclock it, but the clocks and turbo will be better than the 3600.
You will be going from 4 threads to 6.
Your games are not particularly well threaded so the 12 threads of the 3600 may not be that helpful.

ryzen depends on fast ram. your 1 x 8gb 2400 speed is not that good so you are looking at another $65 for a 2 x 16gb kit.
