You're thinking about a CPU upgrade for your existing setup. With a B250M board running the i5-7600, you're looking for a processor that won't limit performance in your 2080 Super and can handle demanding games. Your budget is around 550 euros, and prices in Latvia are easy to check online. You prefer not to overclock unless automated options improve, so focus on reliable upgrades. Based on this, a better Intel CPU that fits your current board would be ideal, or you could consider a new AMD board with a strong CPU. Both paths can deliver solid performance within your budget.

If you find a used 7700K under 200 euros, grab it. Otherwise, go for the Ryzen 5 3600.

For a R5 3600, I’d suggest focusing on a solid build with reliable components. Consider a modern platform like the i5 or Ryzen 5000 series for better performance and efficiency.
