Budget build help

[Sakro]

Hello! I'm on budget but I own this system which I feel it's a bit old for today's games.

The goal would be to play in ultra 1080p 60hz and later on do some streaming if it's possible.

 

This is my actual system:

 

i7 920 @2.67ghz
14 GB ram ddr3 1600MHZ
Asus Rampage II Gene
GPU: Asus Strix gtx 1060 6gb
PSU: Corsair TX 750 v2
Case: HAF 912 
 250 GB ssd and 1TB HDD

Budget: $400-450
country: Venezuela (but I will buy the parts in US)

 

I prefer to only upgrade mobo and cpu, since case it's still fine for me and shipping cases to my country it's kinda expensive.

I've bought the 1060 2 years ago but a friend told me that the GPU was going to bottleneck with the motherboard for being PCIE 2.0. so if you could help me evaluate the best option for me I would be very grateful.

Well in a few weeks AMD will release their new CPUs, potentially driving current pricing even lower than it already is.  Worth waiting to see.

 

Should be able to grab a nice CPU/Mobo/RAM combo for your price point and max your bang/buck.

nope, a 16x is sufficient

I would try to pick up a Ryzen 3600/3600X , new MB, and 16 GB 3000-4000 DDR4 RAM on July 7th or after.

Mmm... The mobo it's kind of dying idk why... It has one faulty ram slot, and the other one just sometimes boot and if it doesn't I have to get out the ram and clean it and that's the only way it boots. That's why i was thinking of building something new. But which model of xeon do u recommend? Or will be a better option buying a x56xx and stick with this build

x56xx is a xeon

 

i mean chips like the x5650, x5670 and x5690

 

but that's if you want to stick with 1366, otherwise i highly recommend ryzen for new builds
