So you have a 3GB 1060

You need to buy a cpu

 

Are you buying a motherboard/ram too? Or do you have a motherboard?

why not get the best for your money? it's not like a bottlenecked system will perform worse than a worse system

This is something you can do, it's worth the couple extra dollars over your 200$. Getting something new for your current platform probably wouldnt be worth it

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
Type Item Price
CPU AMD - Ryzen 5 1600 3.2 GHz 6-Core Processor $116.89 @ OutletPC
Motherboard ASRock - B450M PRO4 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard $69.89 @ OutletPC
Memory Patriot - Signature Line 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR4-2666 Memory $42.99 @ Amazon
  Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts  
  Total (before mail-in rebates) $249.77
  Mail-in rebates -$20.00

Though check what's in the used market around you

If you wanted to get a Ryzen chip (or any modern chip), you'd need a new motherboard and ram. You can find other AM3 chips, but unless you can get a really good price on a good chip then it's probably wise to spend your money towards something like this instead, imo

 

However, finding something on your used market is also a really good idea, local classifieds and eBay you can find some pretty good platforms and chips that use DDR3, like a 4790.

 

@LukeSavenije Just to bring you back in here. Maybe you have some other input aside from mine, or to combat mine

Any local stores like Fry's electronics might be worth a look, you might snag a CPU for like 30% off like I did my brother's

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I agree with @Slottr. There is no sense in staying with an AM3 motherboard, which is what you have running that FX chip.

 

With an AM4 motherboard like @Slottrsuggested, you have a lot of upgrade possibility. Eventually, you'll dump the 1060 for something better, and with AM4, you'll be able to upgrade the CPU to something incredibly good at that time without ripping out and replacing your motherboard a second time.

Intel i7 8700k | Asus ROG Strix Z370-I | NVidia RTX 2070 Super Reference | Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 3600MHz x 32GB | Samsung 970 Evo 500GB NVMe | Samsung QVO 1TB SSD | Custom Loop | Corsair RMx 850w Gold | Phanteks Evolv iTX TG (modded) | Acer Predator XB1

@Slottr and @NickPickerWI would it be smarter to keep the i5 9400 and my gtx1060 and just by a new motherboard and ram casue the transfer to ddr3 to ddr3

Since when did you get a 9400?

And you can't use DDR3 on any 9th gen board, that I'm aware of.
