Handy enough with Ryzen all using socket AM4 you could be able to get yourself an upgrade with only changing the CPU and not needing to chuck out the board/ram this time around, jump from the 1700 > 3600x if you've got a 400/500 series chipset in your mobo and yeah... you'll be right up to date with performance for 200quid https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-Ryzen-7-1700-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-3600X/3917vs4041 very motherboard specific if you got a cheaper older board when you bought your 1700 you'll have to look up compatibility with Zen2 cpus. |
I got an ASUS PRIME X370-PRO. The board is fucking OP as all hell. Between the CPU and board, I spent just over 500 in March 2017.
