Consider your needs and performance requirements before deciding.
At first, my setup included a Ryzen 5 2600, an RX 580, 16GB RAM at 2400MHz, and MSI B350 Tomahawk. Now it runs the same CPU and board but with an RX 5700X and 16GB RAM at 3600MHz. My graphics card works with Ryzen Gen 3, so I was thinking about upgrading to something like the R7 3700X. Would it really make a difference? Is your GPU strong enough to avoid bottlenecks? And would this be a good upgrade overall? Thanks for reading.
Save up until autumn and invest in a new CPU and board for 4000 chips.
I wouldn't recommend it unless you're facing issues with gaming or demanding software. Choosing a Ryzen 3 Gen would require upgrading your RAM, storage, cooling system, and possibly the CPU. I'd consider waiting a few years until the next generation handles newer games better.
