Swapping Ryzen 7 2700 for Intel... ?

[joshisaking]

Hey guys,
After weeks of troubleshooting for weeks and finally consulting a local PC tech, I finally discovered my Ryzen 7 2700 was the culprit. I was able to return it and now I'm looking to replace it.

At this point I'm open to considering Intel processors as well, but I'm limited by budget. I spent about $225 on the Ryzen 7 with Wraith cooler.

What would be the closest Intel alternative?

This PC will primarily be a video editing station running Adobe Premiere Pro and other Adobe software. Any suggestions to stay within the $250-350 range?

Your best bet is to purchase another Ryzen. You aren't going to get an intel equivalent with cooler and a new motherboard for $350.

I agree, get a replacement and see how it goes this time. You arent really in a position to do a full platform switch like that.

Adobe runs best on Intel, should have went with that to start. Did you also return your motherboard?

I thought Adobe ran best on crApple?
