You're deciding whether to upgrade your 970 to a 3600 for $100 more or go for a 3700x for the extra cost. Looking at different perspectives will help you decide.

You're referring to a GTX 970. Regarding your choice, it comes down to your gaming needs and other plans for your PC. A Ryzen 5 3600 offers better performance for multitasking, while the Ryzen 3 3100 is more budget-friendly but may struggle with demanding games. The 3600 provides strong value if you plan to run multiple applications alongside gaming.

Local shops and a fresh egg are available. You can purchase the 3100 for $200 CAD, the 3600 for $300 CAD, or the 3700x for $330 on sale today. However, securing the 3700x might be challenging due to funding constraints.

Securing a 3600 unit was safe, yet the GTX 970 would limit your CPU performance. Opting for a 3600 could free up space for future upgrades.
