Why Intel drives?
Check out the Samsung 960 M.2 drives
256GB for $129.99
Performance
Max Sequential Read Up to 3200 MBps
Max Sequential Write Up to 1500 MBps
Okay so i have replaced the Ryzen 1700 with the 1600 and changed the SSD as well. I don't think the performance gain of the 1700 over the 1600 is worth $100 .

It's all up to you and your budget, But honestly i would stick with the 1700...more cores more threads and everything (programs and games) these days is leading towards using more cores and threads. Only thing i would change is maybe using a M.2 drive, I think i might get one for myself when money start run again.

I've decided to keep the 1700 and go with an m2 drive but the question now is do i buy a 32 inch tv to use as a monitor or just buy a dedicated monitor......
where in Jamaica can i get a decent monitor to buy if i decide to go that route
