Search for a refurbished i7 8700. Intel chips are outdated, and the 3600 model has eliminated many older options.

Just to confirm, the CPU wasn't running at full capacity in the same game before? And are you asking about a used or brand-new 2600 model?

Looks like these items cost more than just the CPU, MOBO and future upgrades.

You're referring to when multiple tasks hit the full capacity of your CPU. The link you shared is for a 2600 processor model.

Do you play games at 60 frames per second? Your i3 should handle it, but consider upgrading your monitor if you plan to use it for that. Unless you specifically need the 6c/12t CPU for tasks like streaming or video editing.

My primary display runs at 75Hz, and I plan to begin streaming and editing videos. Additionally, I’m enrolled in a graphic design course, which requires frequent use of Autodesk Inventor and AudoCad, resulting in heavy CPU usage.

Consider your surroundings, you might find the R7 2700 at a reasonable price. You can check the link provided for details. The entry-level X470 model offers a better VRM if you plan to upgrade later. A higher-end 3200mhz RAM suits Ryzen well and can be purchased later. Prices on PCPartPicker total $525.60, covering shipping and taxes.

This CPU is a great deal in USD, though it’s a bit pricey for my budget. I’ve already added 16GB of RAM recently. My budget is about $300 AUD, which is challenging this season. Appreciate your assistance!

Remaining $50 AUD discount is still available, and you might want to sell your i3 beforehand to secure additional capital. This would ensure you keep the 8-core processor and potentially a superior motherboard.
