Dear hive mind.
You built my last computer for me (well, parted it. Care of @Sumo). I'm thinking of upgrading my PC. I use it for gaming and work (data analysis, often single core processes because of poor/lazy coding or library implementation, so clock speed is important).
Currently have:
AMD Piledriver FX-6 Six Core 6350 3.90Ghz (Socket AM3+) Processor
GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3P AMD 970 (Socket AM3+) Motherboard
MSI Radeon R9 290 TWIN FROZR GAMING OC 4GB GDDR5
with 8 gigs of ram.
Is it worth upgrading at this point? Kits pushing 5+ years, but still playing current gen games with settings on low.
If I want to go Ryzen 3000 I'll need a new mobo I guess (socket AM4 or whatever). Suggestions for mobo/CPU/graphics card combo in terms of power to cost ratio? And am I fine with my 8 gigs? I rarely have issues as is.
