Hi All.
I'm looking for some advice with regards to the best upgrade path from my current rig, which is an AMD A8-6600K Cpu, with 16gb DDR3 Ram, and Asus A88XM-A motherboard. GPU is an 6gb Nvidia GTX1660.
Ideally I'd be looking to spend £550 or there abouts all in for CPU, motherboard, and ram. I have a Corsair 750W PSU, so hopefully this should be adequate.
Now this is where I'm needing advice. For my limited budget, I'd like the best performance for my money.
Usage wise, I won't be gaming on this system, but I will be doing photo editing / multimedia / 3d rendering. So ideally the more CPU power for my budget the better, but still leaving enough money for 16gb or more of decent ram
So am I better sticking with AMD, and going for something like Ryzen 5 5600X, Ryzen 7 3700X or a Ryzen 9 3900X? Would the price / performance sweet spot be to go for the Ryzen 7, 3700X?
Or would going back to Intel again be a better choice? Something like an Core i7-9700K 3.6GHz (Coffee Lake)?
Thanks in advance!
