Upgrade from Ryzen 7 1700?

[topslop1]

Looks like AMD wants to push Ryzen 3 for October or November?

I have DDR 3200 ram already, and I am mostly a gamer.

Is there a chip and then motherboard that'll let me plug the ddr 3200 in there and rock and roll?

What increase in performance should I really see from the Ryzen 7?

My budget would be like $500-$600.

Ryzen 3000 is coming out in July or August, you can bank on it.
October or November would be for the turd that is Navi GPU.

So you can spend twice as much now for 8 cores/8 threads 9700K, or wait 2-3 months and get 12 core/24 threads for about half the price (since you have the Ryzen motherboard already).

9700K: $399
8 core/8 Thread 4.9GHZ Turbo
Gigabyte Z390 Aorus $190
Total= $589

Or
Ryzen 7 3700X: $349
12 core/24 thread 4.6-4.8 Turbo
Re-use your existing & compatible Asrock X370 motherboard: Free
Total= $349

What titles and resolution are you playing that the 1700 isn't getting it done? Curious as you shouldn't bottleneck the 1070 too hard unless you are at 1080p med/comp settings on twitch shooters like CSGO etc. I had a 1700 at 3.8 and even a 1080 was fine-- I run 1440p though and that definitely gets GPU limited.

Agree to wait and see what the new AMD cpus are looking like performance wise and make your upgrade then to one of those or the fastest Intel CPU your budget allows.

I'm playing PUBG and Blops, Mordhau. I'm getting a lot of microstuddering and I've done a lot of fixing and flipping of all sorts of things to fix it. I found that a lot of folks with my X370 chipset were having issues with the same kinds of games and micro studderings.

That's mostly my fix - thought process.

I'm running 1440p

I am looking for competitive shooterish frame rates if I can get them - which might be a mistake on the 1440p..

Microstutter is never fun..

Have you tried seating your GPU to max performance in the GPU control panel? No insult intended here -- Most [H] members hit all the basics before posting--just off the top of my head. My Brother sets his 1070 to max perf in every game and claims it helps in Siege etc.
