MiniNinja6

That's what I was planning on. I got the 1060 just over a year ago for a really good deal used, and I only game at 1080 60Hz so it has been holding up very well. I'd rather hold off for a while either until 2000 cards get cheaper or I have enough set aside to splurge on a good upgrade.

That's actually a great idea I didn't think about. I'll give the stock cooler a go and if I have thermal issues I can look at other coolers down the road a ways. It definitely looks like a ryzen 5 3600 is the way to go. I am going to take a look at the MSI B450 tomohawk and gaming boards and pick one that tickles my fancy. Thanks guys!

Awesome, that makes motherboard picking much easier.

I've seen threads that recommend that MSI B450 Gaming Max board, but I have also seen others saying that it's rolling the dice with the B450 boards whether the bios will be up to date, and that if it isn't I need a compatible CPU to update it? I'd rather not have to deal with something like that, I'd pay a little more to get one that 'just works'

Unfortunately no

Hey guys! I have tried to lay every detail out as clearly as possible, please let me know if I am missing anything, and thanks in advance for any help! Budget: I am thinking $350-450 preferred, up to $500 would be alright if it's worth it. Why I am Upgrading: I am looking to upgrade some of the major components of my PC. I built it in 2014, and the only changes since then have been a GPU upgrade about a year ago (gtx 760 to 1060) and adding 8gb more of RAM at the same time. Recently, its age has started to show. I do some light VR gaming with a Windows MR headset, and just got Budget Cuts, which has been really pushing the limits of my CPU and causing stutters and spikes of unreliable tracking. These days even Minecraft seems to be pushing the limits of my CPU sometimes. I am sure I could push the overclock a little further, tweak down settings to help stuttering, maybe even a fresh windows install could help, but any of these things would just be prolonging the inevitable. The build is 6 years old now, and I think that it is due time for an update. Computer's Uses: Casual Gaming. The ones that are the most demanding are R6 Siege and Insurgency Sandstorm VR Gaming. Budget Cuts, Super Hot Photo Processing. Lightroom definitely seems to chug a little more on the PC than it used to in previous years. Current Specs: i5 4670k (Haswell) Gigabyte z87-ud3h Mobo Corsair H60 120mm AIO 16gb of G.Skill DDR3 RAM EVGA GTX 1060 Super Clocked 6gb Older Crucial 240gb Sata SSD Seasonic 80+ Gold 650W PSU More Info: -I would like to bring the computer back up to the performance range of a ~$1k PC of today, as I would like it to last me another 4 maybe even 6 years. If you would recommend a higher or lower budget upgrade please let me know! -I game in 1080p with two monitors I already own. I already own a copy of Windows and all peripherals. I am just looking at a component upgrade. I do not wish to upgrade my monitors, change to a new case, etc.. -The plan is to part out and sell my old components, and I am estimating I could get around $250 for them if I play my cards right. -I would like to upgrade to a newer and larger SSD. I use a NAS for bulk storage, my SSD is just for games and software. I would like a 1tb one but if bumping down to 500gb gives me extra money for other components I am very alright with that. The Upgrade: After a little research, this seems to be the winning combo for a ~$1-1.2k build today. There is also the i5 9600k, but it appears that the Ryzen CPU wins out at this price point. AMD Ryzen 5 3600 ($175) Some ATX Motherboard ($100-150?) Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($79) Western Digital Blue 500 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($65) >>Total ~$420-450 without a cooler Same GPU Same Case Same PSU Location: I am in the US (prices in $USD), and would prefer to stick to Amazon, Newegg, and the bigger sellers. I do not want to buy used. Questions: 1. What is the 3600X? Is it just an overclocked 3600 or is there a difference? 2. What motherboard would you guys recommend? I don't need too many frills (RGB would be cool but not necessary, I don't need amazing onboard audio or anything "extra" like that). I would like to do some light overclocking, so decent power delivery is a must. 3. I have heard that the stock Ryzen cooler is pretty good, should I get an aftermarket cooler? I would prefer not to reuse my AIO, it is 6 years old now and as they aren't super expensive I'd prefer to get a fresh cooler. I have a compact case that only fits a CPU cooler up to 122mm, or a 120mm AIO. 4. Should I splurge a little more for higher performance RAM? Would that make a significant difference in overall performance? 5. Is this upgrade overkill? Do you think I would be happy with a cheaper upgrade? Or on the contrary, should I try to spend more? 7. If you have a completely different parts list to recommend, please let me know! I am certainly not set on AMD, or on any of these parts. Sorry for the long read, and thank you again for any advice you guys can provide! Let me know if I have left anything out or if you have any questions and I'll try to answer them quickly.

Ok, I'll try those DNS IPs for a bit. I might also get a new router soon, we could use some more range in a couple corners of our house. Thanks for the help!

It happens on all devices that are on the wifi at that time. A couple android devices and some computers running Windows 7 and 8. As far as I can tell my phone does not have an option to set a specific DNS server. The router is now set to use Google's server, so shouldn't the phone use that?

It was looking good all day but it started again just a couple of minutes ago.

They were blank. I'll post back if it happens again or if it seems to be fixed, If that did fix it then thanks!

I figured out how to change the DNS server in the router, and I set it to the two google servers and put my computers dns back to auto. The problem is not currently happening, but It may have just stopped on its own. it usually only lasts 30 minutes to an hour then just stops.

I have my computer set to use google's DNS servers, but I'll set the router to use it. I will try a new scan on all of the devices but I last ran a scan on them all at the beginning of September and this has been happening for almost 3 months now.

I have tried incognito mode and Firefox on a couple of the devices and it happens on those too. time.is says that my system clock is only 3 seconds behind, that should be fine right?

I never new a setup page existed for the modem. It appears that it is about 4 seconds ahead, and I am currently getting the error on google urls. Is there a way I can fix this? Also this time it is a NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID error.

I have never checked the time in the BIOS'es on the computers, but it also happens on any mobile devices connected to the network. I also checked the the manual for the router and it appears to only have a time zone option, which is set correctly.
