Preparing to upgrade my Dell OptiPlex 990 MT motherboard and i5-2400 CPU. Switching to AMD is fine if required. Looking for a solid CPU pairing that’s good for audio and gaming. I already own an MSI Radeon RX 570, a CORSAIR CX Series CX450, and a CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) with 240-pin DDR3 SDRAM at 1600 MHz.

Budget? I think we should perform a complete AMD Ryzen upgrade using an R5 3600 if possible.

Consider going with 3100/3300x for quicker results at a comparable cost.

It's too costly. A B450 tomahawk Max would be a better option at a lower price.

Yeah, I actually have GTA V now. I didn’t expect to see it that way.

Offers improved power transmission, allowing the CPU to operate at higher frequencies under PBO settings or during overclocking. Additionally, PBO is typically activated automatically on the majority of MSI hardware.

It seems you're considering switching to an SSD because the current hard drive is extremely slow and noisy. You're worried about not overclocking, and whether that affects the motherboard and CPU choices.
