New Build?

[lostsoul62]

I'm thinking about building a new computer using AMD Ryzen 5 2600? But I have a i5 4690 which is 41/2 years old. If I do a step up from the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 the price goes up $100. I'm not sure what cpu to use?

What will the computer be used for?

Rendering videos is about the most strain I put on the computer but I might do some work on videos and pictures in the future.

Unless your current computer can't accomplish these task easily then I really don't see the need to upgrade.

I would honestly wait a little longer for Ryzen 3000 if you plan a new build.
