[SOLVED] Thinking of chaning CPU and mobo

[hhyyt99]

thinking of chaning my setup to something similar to this https://www.awd-it.co.uk/amd-ryzen-5-1600-six-core-3.6ghz-cpu-asus-rog-strix-b350-f-motherboard-bundle.html
-ryzen 5 1600
-ddr4 ram 8gb
-b350 mobo
this is prob a stupid question but would you recommned this for general gaming (mostly fps but maybe mobo) and workstation use? (ue4?) and would it be a huge improvement from my original setup?

my original had
-fx 4300 cpu
-1060 6gb (keeping this c😉
-450 watt psu (Corsair VS450, 450 W)
-M5A97 LE R2.0 motherboard

now another thing im kinda worried about is the psu
4300 has tdp of 95 watts i believe but ryzen 5 1600 is lower so thats good.
but do you think it will handle it anyway?
(ik its a really poo poo psu ;c)

For workstation use I would recommend 2x8GB matched RAM rather than 8GB. If you choose 8GB you will improve performance with 2x4GB.

General gaming, especially fps type games do benefit from faster core speeds, this is measured in various ways and not just the frequency speed setting. If you're buying new and upgrading you should explore the Intel line. Although ryzen is quite the bang for the buck and very well capable of gaming, it does fall behind Intel. Drawbacks of an Intel based setup works probably work out to an extra 50-100$ depending on exact components.


I think that you should list your budget and we can see where you should go

yeh sure bro i should be at about £300 for the motherboard ram and cpu in total which i think is around
$384 for you guys.
I see what you mean about those intel chips and im looking forward to your ops with the budget.
also you sure the psu isnt a problem?
and also (c😉 what other factors are determining the "goodness" of a cpu?
sorry im kinda new to this stoof.

Sounds like a lot of sarcasm to me. Trying to help you out in the long run, but seems you've got things figured out. That's why you're here.
