PC gaming question
Hey guys I don’t know who to ask so I will ask my community about my pc.
Ghost recon breakpoint is coming out in October. The specs are covered by my PC but the processor they recommend is Ryzen 7. I currently have AMD FX-6300. Is that significant? I have a great graphics card, vram, PSU. Your thoughts?

I would go with what you have and see if it works. Right now NewEgg has the Ryzen 7 1700x for $189. Or $495. Or anywhere in between. The problem is that the FX-6300 uses the AM3 socket whereas all the Ryzen series use the AM4 socket, which means buying a new motherboard as well.
The system you have is free, because you already own it. That said, the system requirement I saw is the FX-8120 vs your FX-6300. On the other hand if you do choose to upgrade you have five months to get ready. Beyond all that, I don't know much more about it. I myself have a Ryzen 5 2600, which is more than enough for my meager needs.

I appreciate it, I guess I’ll just standby until it’s time to think about it. I do have the new resident evil two, and I do use Arkham night. Both very high end games graphic wise. And it works fine it appears. So I think I should be OK.

Cool. I'm set up for the foreseeable future, as I'm not really a gamer in the full sense, but only play historical games, and then a very limited scope (Wings, Silent Hunter, and some modern flight sims).

according to Tom's Hardware CPU hierarchy guide which I use as a reference, the FX-6300 is 3 levels down from the Ryzen 7 which means it is time for an upgrade.
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews...rchy,4312.html I have a 4 year old i5-4670k which is still listed on the top tier, even though it is getting a bit long in the tooth. but as Sailor Steve said, try it first. I only upgrade when I can no longer run the games I like at an acceptable level.

Appreciate that. I’m not in a position to upgrade yet.
I have Ghost recon wildlands and that plays pretty darn good so hopefully I can squeeze Breakpoint in no problem.
