So im looking to upgrade my pc a little bit. I upgraded my ram like 2 weeks ago to 16gb 3200mhz, so now i thought its time for the CPU. I mainly play games, but im also interested in doing video editing of clips from my friends and i when we play. Ive edited a lot of diffrent youtube videos and im currently trying to get better at it.. I also LOOOOVE to make objects or other stuff in Blender. Ive also thought about starting to stream when i get better internet. My location is in Sweden, and i dont like buying stuff from other sites like Ebay or stuff like that, since it will take WAY longer time to get, also higher chance of something getting damaged during shipping, import fees and a lot of other things. EDIT: I should note that im currently most interested in the ryzen 7 1700, just cause its a fixed price and also cause its new and unused. Now, some of the games i play are these: Minecraft (modded and vanilla) Rust Destiny 2 Apex Legends Assassins creeds CS GO The forest Terraria Unturned I currently got theses specs in my pc: ryzen 3 2200g asrock a 320m-hdv r3.0 16gb 3200mhz (2x8) XFX rs rx 480 4gb Im looking for something around 100 euro on the used market and found theses options: Ryzen 7 1700 for 95 euro (fixed price) + shipping costs (everything comes with it) (Its also new and unused only opened) OR Ryzen 5 2600x (so far 70 euro bid, will probably go up to like 120 euros) + shipping costs (no cooler comes with it) (Seller bought it used) OR Ryzen 5 1600 (so far 70 euro bid will probably go up to like 100 euros) + shipping costs (everything comes with it) (used by seller)

Uncertain if your motherboard supports a Ryzen 7 processor

It's the 1700s, not the latest models, and the only power it provides is 65 watts. I'm sure my motherboard can handle it for a while. I'm also thinking about upgrading it, but I want something that will boost my gaming performance.

Ensure the CPU cooler or case fans cover the motherboard's VRM area

I think I should aim for the 1700 model. Both the Ryzen 5 and 1600/2600 will likely cost over 100 euros when the bidding closes. I saw some tests comparing a Ryzen 3 1200, Ryzen 5 1600/2600 and a Ryzen 7 1700. The Ryzen 5 usually lagged about 10 frames per second compared to the Ryzen 7, but the latter was used much less, which is great because it prevents stuttering in background programs. Since I enjoy creating 3D models and editing videos, the Ryzen 7 should handle those tasks better than the Ryzen 5 1600/2600.
