Is it worth upgrading my CPU if I don't plan to upgrade my GPU? Is it just a waste of money to change the CPU without changing the GPU, or will I see some improvements in games? My setup includes an AMD Radeon RX 570 4GB.

You might see some improvement, but if others are right, upgrading lets you move to Windows 11 when support for Windows 10 ends this year. I also think the 5600 is better than the 3700X, though it costs more and you will need to check your...

What do you plan to upgrade your rig with? From my experience, the 2200g model has fewer PCIe lanes. That means adding more PCIe storage will give you better performance. For the GPU, you should also see better results in CPU-heavy games, but it really depends on which processor you have and what kind of games you play.

I'd upgrade just to get Windows 11 support and better multicore stuff. Those old games are basically dead now. If you don't want to mess up a beta BIOS, you can update your current board to the newest non-beta version and put a 3700x in there. I saw those chips on eBay for about $75 before. If that doesn't work, go ahead with a new beta BIOS and a 5700x instead. Don't use any chips above 65w because of the board.

i am sorry about that. i forgot to add the details. i plan on upgrading my graphics card with a ryzen 3600 or maybe a 5600. i play some open world games, like witcher 3, skyrim, kingdom come.. maybe some baldurs gate 3 and cyberpunk but i know thats going to run poorly even if i upgrade the cpu because of the rx 570.. do you think it will improve it even a bit? i also play league of legends, valorant, and for honor but those games can run on most systems now its not even worth mentioning.

Do you think the Ryzen 5600 works well for your needs? Is it really better than the 3700X when comparing them together? I don't care about the beta BIOS, because I have already upgraded my motherboard to the newest version of its firmware.
