Would love input

Hi everyone,

 

I’m looking to upgrade/build a new PC. I’m coming from a i5-3550 paired with an GTX760. This games well enough for me. I’ve even been able to stream and game before in some titles. And I like that I can multi-task. 

 

Id like to go Ryzen. I was looking at the 1600, mainly because I’m on a budget. I have about $350-$400 to spend on a CPU, MOBO, Memory, and I figured my 760 wouldn’t keep up so a new Graphics card. 

 

Im planning to reuse everything else that I can to help save money. 

 

Is the 1600 enough, or do I need to step up a level in CPU? Any suggestions are awesome!

With memory at a high speed, like 3000MHz, it makes for an excellent budget gaming CPU.

That was my plan, my other choice was a 1700x. Or if I should wait for the new series and keep saving. 

But I’m very new, and lacking highly on knowledge. Don’t know where my dollars are better spent.

What's your budget for a GPU?

Since the new Ryzen processors are coming very soon, wait for people to replace their CPUs and grab the deals as they come to eBay.
