Hi
I recently secured a rtx 3060 ti and now need to upgrade my ryzen 2600. Wondered if you guys could offer some suggestions as to what I should do. I've got a cheap MSI b450 tomahawk (not max) so I'm not even sure I'll be get a bios udpate for Zen 3.

I currently have a I9900k, Aorus Z390 (pro wifi)and a kraken x73 on my list of parts total £650. Would this be a worth while upgrade given how old the CPU or should I be looking at other options?
Many thanks

As you have the motherboard you might as well wait and see if your motherboard gets as update as it has been said that all b450 will do.

They get a lovely new 5600x and enjoy :)
 
From what I read, MSI are working on it for non-MAX B450 and X470. Seems a bit silly to buy into a whole new platform when you can upgrade the CPU in yours.

If you do buy into a new Intel platform, don't buy 9th gen, look into 10th gen.
 
Thanks for the replies. I have will follow the advice and wait to see if I get a motherboard bios update in the new year and buy a 5600x then.
