I've had some major issues with my computer, so I replaced the power supply, swapped the RAM and GPU, and even changed the motherboard. Nothing seems to work properly now. I'm planning to buy a new CPU and motherboard instead. I'm looking for good options that are currently available at reasonable prices. At first, I was thinking of a Ryzen 1600 AF and a motherboard, but they're hard to find cheap online. I don’t have a strict budget, but I want the best performance possible without breaking the bank. My old CPU was an i7-6700. Right now I have 32GB DDR4 RAM (four 8GB modules), a 650W PSU, a GTX 1070, and a Corsair closed water loop cooler. I’m open to upgrading the GPU later. If you can help, please share links to Amazon or Newegg. Let me know if you need it fixed quickly!

Looking to purchase in the U.S? Consider buying from PCPartPicker for a reliable selection. If you're near a store, checking out a B450 motherboard labeled "Ryzen 3000 ready" might lead to a more affordable option without sacrificing quality.

This board lacks VRM heatsinks, making it unsuitable for pairing with a 6-core CPU.

If you're not in a rush, consider waiting until July to purchase a B550 motherboard along with a third-generation Ryzen 5 or 3.

The Ryzen 3300X is slated for release in July. If it arrives, you might need to preorder and wait. The motherboard listed seems suitable for this model. This particular RAM module is currently the most affordable four-slot option available.

The Ryzen 3300X is now available and functions well with the B450 motherboard. The B550 is an updated version of the B450, probably offering better compatibility with upcoming CPUs and extended support.

you can purchase the ryan 3300x from newegg, but since it's currently out of stock, you might want to wait for a restock before buying.
