Looking to Upgrade My CPU: Need Advice!
Asked by
TechSavvy99
I'm planning to upgrade my CPU and need some advice! I'm looking at getting a Ryzen 3700X with the Wraith Prism cooler since it's going for about $100 on Amazon. However, I have a pretty basic setup with a Gigabyte A320M S2H motherboard. Just to give you more context, here are my current specs:
- AMD Ryzen 3200G
- 32GB of RAM
- Gigabyte A320M S2H Motherboard
- 650W 80 Plus Bronze PSU
If you have any suggestions or thoughts on a GPU to include in this build, I'd love to hear them! I'm still in the process of saving up, so I appreciate any input from this fantastic community!

If you can swing it, consider going for a 5000 series CPU instead! I just picked up a Ryzen 5800X for around $130 and it's a solid choice for performance. It'll pair nicely with your other components.
