Currently, I own a core i3 9100f, and it bottlenecks my GTX 980 TI horribly.
I was going to go with a core i5 9600k, but the Ryzen 5 1600 is cheaper, and from what I have read, is more powerful.
I am not looking to overclock my CPU or RAM, so I would go with something like A320 or B350 motherboard.
My question is, I already have Windows 11 Pro installed on my computer, and I was wondering if I will be able to keep that, as 1st gen Zen Ryzen processor's aren't fully supported for Windows 11 from what I know (I am probably wrong). I read that they require installing Windows 11 through the ISO file, but, I don't want to go through any trouble.
Can I get a Ryzen 1600 and keep Windows 11 no hassle? Or should I spend more and get a Ryzen 2600?
I am on a really tight budget, due to me needing to spend the majority of my money on a GPU, so I am looking at ways of saving the most amount of money as possible.
Thanks.
