So I'm going to upgrade my pc very soon, was thinking about buying a msi b450 gaming+ board, 2x4gb of 2666mhz ram and a ryzen 5 2600, but recently i read that the 3rd gen ryzen cpus are gona be launched at the start of next year (correct me if I'm wrong). So should i just buy the r5 2600 now or buy a cheap r3 1200 and get by untill the r5 3k series is realeased and then try and sell the old r3 cpu. And if I do the r3 option isn't the b450 motherboard gonna be compatible with the 3rd gen ryzens with just a bios update?
There are rumors that the 3rd gen ryzens are getting a bigger performance jump (7nm arc, more cores, more effiecent and higher clockspeeds) compared to the 2nd gen when realeased. So thats why i was wondering if the r3 "getting by" option is vayable and worth it. And I will be just playing like csgo, r6 siege and maybe overwatch so the r3 will be enough for the wait.
And my current pc isn't functional because i allready went and sold the old components, so waiting and not buying anything isn't a option for me, because i can't be without a pc for that long. :lol:
