Have been meaning to upgrade the CPU as my 6700k is getting a bit old. I play on a 1440p/144hz monitor, on a 1080ti. RAM is 16gb 3200Mhz. GPU should still last me for a bit, I think. Not planning to move to 4k any time soon. Is the Ryzen 5 3600 the best value for an upgrade at the moment? Thanks.

TheFluff posted:The 3600 is generally the best value you can get right now, but it should be said it's not necessarily a huge upgrade from a 6700K. In games that are bound by single-thread performance you'll get maybe 10-15% better FPS or something on that order (see GN's review for some numbers - they don't have a 6700K but the 7700K is close-ish, especially if you've overclocked the 6700K). On the other hand, in games that are bound by multi-thread performance, like Assassin's Creed Origins, it's easily 50% higher framerate. So, if it's worth upgrading or not depends on what you play. Thanks - so what CPU would I be looking at for an actual, tangible upgrade then?

So I've decided I need to upgrade the system; I asked in the past and was convinced to postpone it till performance actually starts to suffer. The newest games are starting to chug on ultra for me; Fallen Order is usually at around 75-90 but falls down to 50-60 when there's a lot of activity, even as low as high 40s; same for Outer Worlds. What should I start looking at to upgrade? I don't have a budget per se, but just to get an idea which components to keep an eye on for discounts, special offers, sales etc. As a benchmark, I'd like to play Cyberpunk when it comes out at Ultra (or close to) with a good frame rate (I don't expect maxed out at 144 without getting a 2080ti or something, but around the 80-100 range).
