Hey there! After reviewing Linus’ 2019 ‘4k budget video editing pc’ guide, I’m considering switching from my i5 7500 to a Ryzen setup for better performance in Premiere Pro. Here are my thoughts:

1. The Ryzen 5 5600G is a strong CPU choice compared to the 3600, especially if you’re focused on raw CPU power rather than integrated graphics. Since your GTX 1060 handles gaming, its GPU performance won’t impact your editing much.
2. When picking motherboards, look for ones that support Ryzen CPUs natively—check the chipset compatibility and ensure they’re not limited by outdated BIOS or unsupported features.
3. After upgrading hardware, reinstalling Windows can be tricky. You’ll likely need to use a live USB or a recovery disk to transfer files without losing data. As for Windows keys, you should keep your current license unless you’re moving to a new product line.

Let me know if you need more details!

The 5600g offers roughly a 20% boost in speed, though performance is slightly lower at 5600x. It’s mostly compatible with a little bit of delay. Consider an MSI B550 Pro-A, mortar, or tomahawk. Most B550 boards should work now—just pick a solid model. Are you sure Windows is installed on the storage where your files reside? If yes, it’s best to swap in a new SSD for Windows and then reinstall the old drive once done. This lets you boot the new one while keeping access to existing data. If your files were on a different drive, simply connect that after installation; all your files will remain accessible. Programs won’t run properly if they’re still on the old drive.
