Hi there, thanks for taking time to check this.
Ive had my 2500k for years happily at 4.5 ghz but recently its starting to bsod more and more.
Ive recently replaced all the ram since this started as i was having random bsod with different messages that pointed to probably ram being the issue.
In last few months ive swapped ssd and replaced a gtx 970 to a rtx 2060 but im still getting the random bsod so probably its the cpu/mb thats on its way out.
The main advice im looking for is if an upgrade to a Ryzen 2600 will be a worthy upgrade from the i5 2500k 4.5ghz for the cost with mb/ram factored in. Its only really used for browsing/media or rarely 1080p gaming, located behind my Tv stand in living room.
I can get the mb/cpu/ram and maybe m.2 drive for under £300 but will it be worth the cost or spend a bit more to stick with Intel for 1080p gaming and browsing?
Id be happy if it at least matches my i5 at 4.5ghz in games but if it will blow past it then i will be ecstatic.
Sorry for the rambling post but im at the point of struggling to justify spending much more on the thing after spending around £400 this year on ram/ssd and my treat of new gfx card for it still to be fkd.
Any advice is appreciated and thanks for taking time to help
