Hello,

I have been upgrading this PC for years now, and the CPU is way behind. However I’m not sure what to put in. I planned on sticking with AMD, I’m running Linux Mint, and I want to spend $200-300. My monitor is capable of 165 FPS but nothing I play tends to reach that (Counter-Strike 2, Doom: The Dark Ages, Control, other big-budget games). So I’d like something that could help get this thing up to speed.

I’m also interested to hear what other components ought to be prioritized for upgrading in the future.

Thanks

    He could upgrade to the ryzen 5000 series with that setup and do just fine. AM4 has long legs. With the RAM crisis, AM5 is out of reach and, I think, will be for years.
