I'm thinking of upgrading a AMD A10-7860 cpu to a new AMD Ryzen 2400G for my HTPC and would like to mine on it when I'm not watching movies or anything like that.
What I'd like to know if anybody thinks this is a good CPU for doing this or better to spend the extra $19 dollars and get a Ryzen 1600? But I'd have to get a GPU too. Maybe a AMD 550
(I pick AMD products because software is easier to write for them (I do programming) and readily available. I do have a GTX 1060 6G for rendering on another machine, but it's slow for mining in my opinion.)
Here is my current gaming computer screen shot and relevant info. It's overclocked to 3.9 Ghz and never gets over 59c (138 degrees F.)
