Consider upgrading your CPU for better performance.
Consider upgrading your CPU for better performance.
Hello, I own a Ryzen 5 3600. Looking for more cores and threads—would switching to Intel be a good idea? I’m budgeting around £300 for the CPU and £100 for the motherboard. Any advice?
Consider skipping it. At 400 GBP you should consider updating your BIOS and moving to an upgrade. Also, tell me about your exact needs—sometimes adding more cores and threads isn't the best choice for every situation.

You use your computer for tasks that require heavy multitasking or intensive processing, such as video editing, 3D rendering, or running multiple applications simultaneously. These activities often benefit from additional cores and threads to improve performance.
You likely need more processing power from your GPU, not your CPU. It seems your setup is probably limited by GPU performance most of the time. Have you tried MSI Afterburner to check how your GPU and CPU are using resources? Also, let me know which games you're playing and their settings.
