My previous processor is slowing things down now
Hello! I'm here to help with your tech upgrade. Your current i 8400 works fine, but it's starting to slow things down. You're considering a new GPU and have a few options in mind: Ryzen 4 Gen 2, Ryzen 7 3700X, or the RTX 2080 Super. Since you want the best value for your money, let me know which one interests you most and I can give you more tailored advice.
I'd say wait for the new ryzen or look into a used i7 for that platform.
Because with todays gear it's not a very good upgrade. OP if it's fine, I would suggest waiting for Ryzen 4000
8700k consistently outperforms the r7 3700x across various scenarios.
If your budget is unlimited, it might be better to wait for a Ryzen 4 or move to a 10th generation Intel processor. It’s not worth settling for older Intel models in the 8000 series when you’re aiming for the latest hardware. If you need an upgrade now, consider a X570/B550 board with a 3600 MHz CPU until newer chips arrive. This setup will keep your system compatible with 4th generation and boost your thread count significantly. For maximum performance, opt for a 3700X if you have unlimited funds. Newegg currently offers them at $275.
