You're facing a bottleneck with your FX-8350 on the GTX1660. To transition to an AM4 setup, you'll need to invest in components that support AM4, such as an AM4 CPU and compatible RAM. Consider budgeting enough for a solid AM4 processor and sufficient memory to accommodate future upgrades. This will help ensure your system remains future-proof for next-gen graphics cards.

Minimum is the lowest option, but optimal offers a superior result.

Budget technically the most affordable A320 model featuring an Athlon is available, though improvements are possible with a clearer budget in mind.

You're right! The best setup is optimal, isn't it? I'll look into Ryzen 5 options across all three motherboards. Spending more on the CPU will definitely help! Thanks!

B450 tomahawk 3300x 2x8 3200 ripjaws V A offers strong performance, but the "Ryzen 5" label doesn't always reflect its true capabilities. In fact, a model like the 1600 can struggle compared to newer chips with higher IMC and IPC ratings.
