I built my first project using an I3-8100 and now I’m thinking about switching to AMD for my next build. I’m looking for the best value, balancing gaming, streaming, and some everyday tasks.

Since no budget was specified, the straightforward choice is the Ryzen 7 3700X. It offers 8 cores and 16 threads, handling gaming and streaming smoothly. For a more affordable option: the Ryzen 5 3600 remains solid. With unlimited funds: the Ryzen 9 3950X is ideal due to its 32 threads.

It varies based on your goals and budget, but the R5 3600 paired with a B450 motherboard offers great worth for the price.

USD? Alright, I’d go with the Ryzen 7 3700X and maybe an X570 motherboard since that’s a big investment. It keeps your future choices flexible and the system runs smoothly with solid features.
