So I'm looking to replace my current audio PC that use to run Cakewalk/Ableton etc. At the moment I have an old Dell with an i5-6500 and 16gb RAM which is wheezing at the amount of synths I'm trying to run on it.

I have a budget around 450 and having looked around, I'm thinking either a new system with a Ryzen 5700G or something second hand with a Ryzen 3900x and the cheapest gfx card I can find.

Any idea how these two would stack up against each other for audio based workloads? I'm assuming either would be a decent step up from my current PC?
