Upgrade your Ryzen processor!
Upgrade your Ryzen processor!
The B450 Gaming Plus receives a C rating, indicating it's a decent motherboard. The Ryzen 5 3500X performs well, though a 3600 would be better if it doesn't significantly increase the price.
It seems likely, but it’s also the key factor for the greatest impact initially, besides adding more RAM. After that, you can improve the CPU later.
A320 doesn't allow OC on the CPU, though it supports memory. The 3200MHz frequency is solid, but the cost is typically much higher than 2933/3000MHz options, so I wouldn't suggest going for them immediately.
In my country 3000/3200 MHz models cost the same. Alright, I’ll opt for 2x8GB of RAM. Thanks!
From Corsair, this product falls under the Power Supply Units series for 2018.
I don't know your location or the cost of RAM, but if prices seem steep, Aliexpress could be an option. These 3000Mhz 8GB drives are quite affordable and typically use Micron chips (not ideal for Ryzen, though they should support XMP with the newest AGESA).
