Product: HP Pavillion 550-252na
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Link to desktop - https://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c04949190

 

Firstly, I have already upgraded my graphics card to a Radeon RX550 Series and the power supply to a Corsair CP-9020101-UK CX450M 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply Unit.

Power Supply Link - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01C3FFOHS/ref=pe_3187911_189395841_TE_dp_2

 

The CPU which I want to upgrade to is AMD Ryzen 5 3600X Processor

I am relatively new to building and I was wondering would this be compatible with my current HP Pavillion 550-252na desktop with the already upgraded parts?

 

Furthermore, how much of a difference to performance would there be from my current CPU which is Intel (R) Core(TM) i5-6400 CPU @ 2.70 GHz?

 

I mostly play fast-paced fps games such as CSGO and Overwatch so I am looking to get as high fps as possible.

It is not possible to install a AMD CPU in a Intel MB.

 

You can upgrade to a i7-6700.
