Hi All,
I am looking to do an upgrade from an intel i5 2500k as the motherboard has finally given up the ghost.
As part of the rebuild i am going to get a new case (take the chance to go to a mini-itx as my office space has shrunk), get a new cpu, mobo and memory.
I am going to reuse most of the old machine as its fine and will transfer over without an issue.
I am also trying to keep my costs down while getting an improvement and trying to future proof somewhat as well.
I am currently looking at
Ryzen 5 3600
1 x 16gb memory (so i can upgrade later)
b450 motherboard (i can flash the bios)
This keeps the price where i want it but my big question is should i spend the extra for the newer 5 series motherboards? Is there anything that would make it worthwhile for me to actually spend the extra to upgrade?
Looking through the specs i just cant see why its worth it for me at the moment. Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks
