[SOLVED] Upgrade i3 9100f vs ryzen 3600/x

[KaomHeart254]

Hello! Last month i started renovating my house and decided to sold my pc(+monitor). Now i need a pc and i don't know what to do since it's a bad time for buying . I use my pc for daily usage (internet surfing, youtube, movies, music), virtual box, packet tracer, online poker, maybe dual boot win+linux and cs go +some aaa games (read dead 2,ac odysey, tomb raider, metro, etc). I was thinking at 2 options :
1)Wait for Ryzen 4000 and buy i3 9100f with 8 gb, rx 570,ssd sata 3 250gb,400 - 450 ps(all sh) + monitor Lg 24MK430H (new) - all cost me around 375-300$
2)Go full upgrade with Ryzen 3600/3600x, 16g 3200mhz cl 16,ssd m2 250 or 500,rx 580 8g, tier 1 ps (all sh with warranty) + monitor Aoc 24g2u (new) - all cost me around 900-950$

The stopgap system, option 1, doesn't make much sense. Using Virtual Box with only 4c/4t will make things slow if you have more than 1 or 2 VMs running at a time. The 3600/X is a very good CPU and will last for quite a long time.

Grab option 2...you can upgrade to Ryzen 4000 next year or whenever the need arises...just verify your chosen motherboard will support 4000 series.
