Thank you all for the replies so far.. I didn’t expect to have so many replies so quickly! Haha lots to take in and consider so thank you so far ppl have mentioned the psu is solid and to keep it, I did have a slight worry in mind that because it’s now 5 years old it would start to be a risk? Do psu’s have life spans or is it safe to assume it’ll be fine?

Hi, I have been given my friends old gaming PC as I was wanting to get back into the scene after around a 10 year hiatus since I last built my own rig. This PC he said he originally built back in 2015 however whilst it seems to run basic games (CS:GO, Rocket league, League of legends) quite comfortably, I was hoping to upgrade/ salvage anything I can from it so that I can play newer games more comfortably and in better detail. I have always preferred management style sims and really like the look of planet zoo and planet coaster however I feel I would have to invest in order to get the most out of these games. Whilst i'm unsure exactly what hardware the system has at the minute I have attached screenshots of the interior along with the specs that systemrequirementlab.com told me it has. In terms of storage I believe it has a couple of 1TB hard drives and a 200gb SSD which is running the OS and Steam. I have a budget of around £500 to spend so hopefully someone can help me out and point me in the right direction! From the videos I have watched on LTT youtube and from a bit of googling the Ryzen 5 3600 seems the way to go with a CPU however after this I feel a bit lost seen as I am now completely out of the loop of current hardware. Thank you for any help you can offer me and if there are any details I have not mentioned then I will do my best to find out! ?
