Upgrading everything? You did not provide enough information to give an answer. Start here:I'm going to be upgrading my PC so my sister can have my old parts. I will be upgrading everything. I currently have an intel i7-7700 and am wondering which CPU would be worth upgrading from this. I'm leaning towards AMD this time, but intel also works. I'm also not looking to spend over $500. Anything helps

Ryzen uses fast memory (3600mhz.) and it's likely the memory you have now will be much slower in your Intel system.
