Check if your Ryzen 4th Gen can be improved.
Hey there! It looks like you're weighing up your options between your current Ryzen 1700X and potential upgrades. Considering the 3rd generation Ryzen options, the 3600X is a solid choice if you're looking for good performance without breaking the bank, while the 3700X offers more power at a higher price. If you're open to it, the 3600X is available for around £153 and the 3700X for £215—what do you think?
What kind of motherboard do you have? If yours is from an earlier generation, you’re likely stuck with the 3000-series and will need to replace it to run the Ryzen 4000 series. The GTX 1070 remains functional today, but upgrading to a RTX 2070 would provide a significant performance improvement.
I own a B450 motherboard and wasn't certain about upgrading the RAM slot, so I'm leaning toward a third-generation option.
