Is it worth 3700x for daily usage? Or need another.

[Robotics]

I want to upgrade my CPU, but firstly ask amd 3700x worth for daily usage especially browsing with more tabs and entertaintment videos with two screen, rarely play games and Photoshop. My currently CPU Intel 2600k if your answer no please give to me nice CPU spot. I am working on blockchain and always screening Trade charts and news.

Thanks guys.

3700x will be fine for your uses.

 

[dirtyferret]

A Ryzen 3600 (or even a cheaper CPU) will fit your needs.

If your on a budget I would take the 3600 + MSI Tomahawk or Mortar B450 and some 3600MHz ram. If your where gaming, it would leave room for new gpu. On this a nice new ssd, and if you dont game - you could perhaps do with the 3400g

 

[EarthDog]

Not sure I'd go any higher on the GPU for someone who doesnt play a lot of games...

 

[FinneousPJ]

Why do you want to upgrade? What makes the 2600k insufficient?

 

[dirtyferret]

Not to mention he may be looking at pre-built units, from his use description the PC seems to be more for work then pleasure

What do you need to upgrade? 2600K can handle 2 screens video and internet browsing. Could you specify?

It is time to change for me 2600k too odd and yup it handle 2 screens but tabs are problem. My CPU slicon is nearly die soon.

 

[hzy4]

For your use case I would go with some AMD Ryzen 1st,2nd gen if you can get a good deal, may be some bundle with motherboard, otherwise the Ryzen 3600

 

[EarthDog]

I don't see the point in going last gen CPU or board. The guy clearly keeps his rigs for quite a while so why start behind the curve? 3600 and X570 of X470 board FTW.

 

[Robotics]

So everybody spots: Dont change everything is fine. Okey

 

[bug]

I'm going to get downvoted for this, but for your needs, Intel is still the better choice. Get yourself a nice 4 or 6 core CPU for $200 or less and be done with it.

Actually no one told you anything in particular because there is no way we can tell you if it's worth it or not, you decide that on your own. A 3700X is certainly going to be faster, that I can tell you.

faster when browsing with more tabs?

Look here: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-5-3600/8.html
and here: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-5-3600/10.html
A 9600k or even 8600k come on top more often than not

Of course, if you can get a 3600 or 3700 build for significantly less, go for it.

well you're not cause that's pretty much confirmed by every review.
9400f+16 gigs of ram and that'll do.

Yeah while I am looking, you post thanks. But, these results for single or multi browsing tabs?

Single, but they apply to multiple tabs just the same. In fact, lately browsers have learned to "sleep" background tabs so they don't strain your CPU unnecessarily.

Also, make sure you install AdBlock and (my favorite) NoScript. Works wonders for your browsing. I set up AdBlock to allow non-intrusive ads and disable it entirely on websites I visit frequently. But I set NoScript up to allow just the necessary scripts.

Yeah, i see. But I am working with two screens and crossing between them quickly. So in this scenerio how about browser "sleep"?

 

[cucker tarlson]

what about the rest of the system ?
I have a 4c/8t i7 with a dual monitor setup too and frankly multiple tabs are not a problem even when gaming

We're still talking about 2 tabs out of a few dozens you may have open. You'll be fine.

I have an issue with facebook and twitter, they always laggy when i am browsing with more tabs. Sometimes tv series playing laggy when i am browsing, but when i do with less tabs they are ok. Internet connection good . I have 16GB rams 2400Mhz Aorus 8G rx 580. Maybe twitter and the others have an issue generally, dont know.

 

[cucker tarlson]

2600k can't even run 2400.be lucky if it can do 2200.
what about the OS drive ? ssd ? hdd ?

 

[Robotics]

SSDs: Samsung 850/830/7200 HDD but what is the point of these info about browser performance with my daily usage @cucker tarlson ?
