Hello,
I have been upgrading this PC for years now, and the CPU is way behind. However I’m not sure what to put in. I planned on sticking with AMD, I’m running Linux Mint, and I want to spend $200-300. My monitor is capable of 165 FPS but nothing I play tends to reach that (Counter-Strike 2, Doom: The Dark Ages, Control, other big-budget games). So I’d like something that could help get this thing up to speed.
I’m also interested to hear what other components ought to be prioritized for upgrading in the future.
Thanks


Here’s the comparability list for your motherboard. Upgrade the bios if you haven’t yet

I searched on ebay and 😂 there’s a big jump in price between a 5700x/5800x to 5700x3d/5800x3d. ~$150 to $350-400
Thanks! I didn’t consider checking that, I’d just been relying on PC part picker compatibility.
