Hey everyone, I've been dealing with this PC problem for quite some time now—it's really getting to my patience. It's super sensitive and tends to crash frequently. After a month of stable performance, it's starting to become a real hassle every day. I'm thinking about switching platforms. Right now I have an R7 5800X with an MSI X570 Meg Ace board, and I could get both for roughly £350-£400 on eBay. Would it make sense to upgrade to an i5 12400F plus a Gigabyte B660 Gaming X DDR4? I know it means losing two cores, but both models are available for around £350 new. Thoughts? George
