why those 2 cpus

#

i7 7700 is pick for perfomice but you can easy upgrade to r5 5600 for the am4 system

i was going to upgrade my optiplex with the i7 7700 but got gifted a ryzen 3 4100

#

and do you have mobo for the 4100?

#

yes

#

should i use the ryzen for now until i can upgrade?

#

i7 7700 faster then r3 4100 so unless you swaping to r5 5600 just run the 7700

#

RIP the 4100 is duel ccx

#

so i could just run the ryzen 3 4100 for a couple weeks and then buy a ryzen 5 5600?

#

also how much ram should i have
