my current pc parts are
16gb ram
Ryzen 3 3300x cpu
Radeon 5700x gpu
and I think my cpu is to low compared to my gpu and is not letting it reach full potential.
Budget 250$ Canadian dollars and willing to buy used
#Cpu Suggestions for my rig

Go with a ryzen 7 5800x3d and you have a great pc
For cheap and the price to preformace king the amd ryzen 5 5600

If I was to upgrade my gpu to a 6700xt what cpu would you recommend along with it
and do you think its even worth upgrading?
thorn kelp
5700 xt is till a king and is about as good as a rtx 3060, but its upto what monitor and games you play
But for now go with a 5 5600

My gpu amd 5700x not xt is a good one?
In league of legends on the lowest settings im only cracking 110-120 fps
supple shuttle
thorn kelp
Then it's a 5700
supple shuttle
It runs league at like 100-120fps on the lowest settings its kinda doodoo no?
thorn kelp
Is it the gpu bottle necking?
supple shuttle
the cpu and gpu both when I play hover around 30-35% utilization
is that bottle necking? Even though my fps cap is 200
supple shuttle
In my understanding why won't my gpu/cpu push itself to hit that 200fps cap? It sits at 30-35% util which is weird to me
thorn kelp
And again go for a ryzen 5 5600 now and see if you like it then if you want more get a better gpu

I see it on amazon right now for 21% off from amd for 145 canadian
do you think that would fix the issue?
thorn kelp
How did you check the util while gaming?
supple shuttle
task manager/ amd settings
thorn kelp
While in the game playing it?
supple shuttle
yeah I have it on my second monitor
supple shuttle
the cpu and gpu both when I play hover around 30-35% utilization
isn't this abnormal or nah?
thorn kelp
I still remember the days of a singalong monitor setup
No from what I see it's normal as the cpu is nothing special
So a cpu upgrade might give you what you seek
Remember to update your bios
supple shuttle
You mean drivers?
thorn kelp
No bios
supple shuttle
I've never heard of that in my life
updating bios?
I thought that's where I just change my hardware settings
thorn kelp
What motherboard so you have?
supple shuttle
How can I check
thorn kelp
Dose your pc have a window
thorn kelp
supple shuttle
what is that
thorn kelp
Bios update
To make pc be able to handel a 5 5600
And remember to get thermal paste with the cpu
supple shuttle
Should I upgrade my motherboard or just update the bios
Also my concern is the 5600x only gives me 2 more cores is that enough
thorn kelp
Also my concern is the 5600x only gives me 2 more cores is that enough
M8 going from 4 cores to 6 is massive and the 4 cores from your current cpu is ZEN 2 while the new one has 6 ZEN 3 cores

if you had to put an aprox percent for improvment cpu wise what would u say it is

And the thing about am4 motherboards is that it's all compatible

I do not have any real numbers but it may increase up to 200% or more for some games
thorn kelp
Omg
supple shuttle
that's awesome that its compitable to
do I have to check if its good with my case or nah just motherboard which you said was compitable
thorn kelp
Yes only the motherboard
supple shuttle
Also where would you recommend I sell my old cpu
thorn kelp
I'm in norway so I got no clue but old ryzen 3s are not worth much but check Facebook marketplace and ebay
supple shuttle
sounds good I really appreciate the help man
thorn kelp
NP
supple shuttle
thorn kelp
The main issue with that is your motherboard as it might not be able to handel it
supple shuttle
Is there a website I can check this
supple shuttle
Yes, the ASUS Prime B450M-A motherboard is compatible with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X CPU. The B450 chipset supports the Ryzen 5000 series processors, but you might need to update the motherboard's BIOS to the latest version to ensure full compatibility.
thats why gpt said
supple shuttle
No but trust me those non cooled vrms are not goos
wait its not cooled?
supple shuttle
But it just can't handel the power of a ryzen 7
The store I’m buying it from has a generous refund policy
So I guess we will see 🤣
But ima update the bios before I go install it
thorn kelp
Good remember to buy thermal paste and you might wanna upgrade the cooler too
Did you get a box from the place you bought the pc from?
That had a lot of strange stuff in it?

League of Legends can't use that many cores. That's why the CPU utilization is low. You are CPU bottlenecked. That also means that any improvement in upgrading the CPU is only noticed from the single thread improvement.
thorn kelp
Like zen 3 over ZEN 2

So upgrading from a 3300x to a 5700x is apporximately a 26% improvement in LoL.
Even though the CPU in total is more than twice as fast because it has more cores.
League just can't use all those cores
thorn kelp
But preformace increase in more then one game is way better
onyx bough
Sure, he just specifically mentioned LoL
thorn kelp
The 5700 will still be a nice improvement for gaming
It dose come with a better cooler but it uses the amd mounting brackets that had to be removed to use the cooler that came with the ryzen 3 3300x so you need to see if you can find them.
supple shuttle
Gottem

Gottem
Did you consider that this might require a new cooler? Depending on what you had before. And new thermal paste
supple shuttle
I have thermal paste
But I’ll see the temps I might need a new cooler
My brother is flaming me tho saying there is hardly a difference with this cpu with my old one cuz of the speed

It's about 26% faster in single core speeds.
Like I said above
Single core speeds has two components. The IPC (Instructions per clock) and the clock speed.
So he might have just looked at the clock speed
In a game like LoL that can't use all the threads, it's the single core speed that matters
supple shuttle
Awesome thanks
Testing is gonna have to wait tell Tom cuz brother lost thermal paste
supple shuttle
Update
My pc powers in and fan spins but keyboard and mouse not getting power
Same with monitor

@supple shuttle Did you update the BIOS before installing the new CPU?

I have to install ai suite 3 but I don't see an option for that anywheer under my mother board

Which board?
