Get old or new? Upgrading

[Vladi40]

Budget: <600€ 

Country: Serbia (getting most parts from Hungary tho!) 

Games that it will be used for: Battlefield V, WoW, Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord... 

 

So for the longest part this one was being used in some old games and internet. Now it's time for upgrade. 

It's specs are:

CPU I5 2500

Motherboard H67 Foxconn

CPU cooler Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo 

RAM 8GB DDR3 Crucial Balistix

GPU GTX 960 Asus Strix 2GB

HDD WD Blue 1TB

PSU Corsair CX600

 

Currently I can upgrade to:

 i7 4790k, Msi Z87, 16GB, +240GB SSD for about 250 to 330€ from used parts 

Or I can get new i5 10400F, Gigabyte H410M H, G.Skill 3000MHz 16GB, Crucial MX500 500GB for about 380€.

Now the GPU is much more difficult part:

RX5500XT start at about 200€,

GTX 1660 SUPER at 250€

RTX 2060 at 350€

I can also get used GTX 1070 for 200€

 

Now any advice will be of great help.

 

PS: the less money spent in long term the better!

what are the prices for a 3600 and a b450 combo?

 

any prices on the 5600xt, 5700 and 5700xt?

Could you get amd instead of intel? If not, between those two, get the new stuff and either the 2060 or 1070.

B450 start at 60 (Msi tomahawk max is 120e) (ryzen 5 3600+ b450 is same sa i5 10400f + h410 combo) 

5600xt start at 320€

Definitely get 3600 + b450 (preferably tomahawk max) 

gpu: I would go for 2060

Sry, you misunderstood me. I5 10400f has the same price as r5 3600. The price of gigabyte h410m h (cheapest one) is same as cheapest b450 motherboard. Yes tomahawk is the best. But than I'd have to wait for next year to get gpu...

personally would go with the ryzen combo (though i am surprised with what intel has bring on the gaming side with this cpu)

 

for the GPU would probably go with the 5600xt as its on par with the 2060, but if you would like to spend less the 1070 would be my go to

So what is my best option? 

New ryzen set: cpu, ram, ssd and mb /new Intel set (they cost the same) , and get used Gtx 1070 (or new RX 5500xt). 

Or get used i7 4790k set, and new RTX 2060/ RX 5600XT?
