    Just a question for all you guys, i need a bit of help here..

    I have a desktop pc that i am running ACC, AC, rfactor and rfactor2.
    My specs are:
    CPU amd ryzen 3 2200g
    8 Gb RAM
    RX570 graphics card with 4 gb memory
    500 watt power supply
    2 SSD disks, 256 gb and 128 gb.

    I need an upgrade for sure because when i am racing with over 25 guys, things are not going well specially at ACC, the game is lagging even if i am running it at very low settings and i have warnings about 99% cpu occupancy.
    I have about 200 euros to spend and i am thinking to go for a Ryzen 5 3600 with 8 gb memory RAM more (total 16 gb of RAM) instead of getting a better graphics card ( i know that i cant get much better card with this amount, but i believe it will be much better to go for the Ryzen 5 with the extra 8gb memory RAM).

    What do you think about this?
    I dont know if there is already a similar thread, if there is please move my question there :)

    In the UK magazine PC Gamer, they have used the Ryzen 5 3600X in their recommended specs for the £1455.00 Mid-Range build PC. They say:
    "This CPU is one of the greats and uses the Zen 2 architecture to dominate in gaming and productivity". I don't know if the Zen 2 requires a new motherboard?

    Both cpu's are using AM4 socket (Ryzen 3 2200g and the Ryzen 5 3600x) but i dont know if Zen 2 needs another motherboard.. Thanks for mention it Ken, i will do my search if finally the 5 3600x needs another motherboard.. :)

    Edit: I search it, I have an Ashrock A320M-HDV R4.0 and it supports the Ryzen 5 3600X :)
