Before you change the CPU we have to take care that we are optimizing for what purpose.
I've seen folk change the CPU when the HDD needed to be changed to SSD.
And gamers with a low end GPU that needed a tick up before the CPU.

Hi guys,
I'm currently thinking about getting a new CPU and i was looking at the AMD Ryzen 7 1700 65 W 8/16 Core 3.7 GHz 4 MB CPU - Black or https://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-yd1700bbaebox-Ryzen-16-Core-3-7-GHz/dp/B06WP5YCX6
Im currently not sure whether this will be a good purchase or not. i currently have a ****** FX-4300 Quad core and a GTX 1060 6gb.
I also obviously have a AMD motherboard.
Basically, i'm just looking to upgrade my CPU to a reasonable standard without having to spend loads on replacing the motherboard AND the CPU rather than just the CPU.
So can anyone help me out by telling me if the Ryzen 7 is a good buy or recommend any good AMD or Intel CPUs ! I have a budget upto maybe £400-450.
Thanks
