Hey everyone! My CPU (AMD A10-7850K Radeon R7) has been struggling for some time now, especially for gaming. I've done all the usual troubleshooting like updating drivers and cleaning out dust, but it keeps stuttering and even crashing during gameplay. Notably, it's having a hard time with games like Apex Legends and Satisfactory, plus it seems to crash my whole system. I'm unsure if this is a hardware issue since task manager only recognizes 2 of the 4 CPU cores.
I'm looking for advice on how to upgrade to a better setup that can last me for another 5 years, with a budget of €1,000. I don't need peripherals like a mouse, keyboard, or monitor. Any recommendations would be really appreciated. Thanks a lot!

What country are you in? Prices can vary a lot depending on location, and that might affect what you can get within your budget!
I’d suggest going for an AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, paired with 32GB of RAM and a decent GPU like the Gigabyte Eagle AX or something similar. A good PSU rated around 750-850W should keep everything running smoothly. For storage, consider a 2TB NVMe drive, which will really speed things up! Just make sure to check out a case you like, maybe the Montech Air 903 Pro for good airflow. This setup should handle 1080p gaming without any problems!
