Need help with Bulid

[DespereauxINC]

Ok, so I'm fairly new to this whole pc building, when I say "new" I don't mean completely I just never had to put a pc together although I know all the parts. so I bought mt pc pre-built from micro center and I feel its time for an upgrade 

 

Currently (post-upgrade)my pc stands with 

Mobo: ASRock - b250m-HDV Micro ATX LGA1151

CPU: I5 - 7300 3.4 GHz

GPU: 1050TI

RAM: 8gb

PSU: some 400w PSU don't know the brand

 

My plan is to upgrade my PSU and GPU and RAM and add an SSD

 

So after the upgrade, it'll be

Mobo: ASRock - b250m-HDV Micro ATX LGA1151

CPU: I5 - 7300 3.4 GHz

GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 XC Gaming 6GB GDDR6 

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB)

PSU: (need help here) EVGA 500 W1, 80+ WHITE 500W? (I've heard stories of this frying PCs whole and I want to avoid that at all cost as I wouldn't have money to replace an almost $400 dollar GPU let alone an entire pc)

 

So my Main concerns are can all that go together? (PC part picker says yes but also get a second opinion) and is that PSU enough/good enough to power my pc and not turn it into home fires?

I mean, it'll work, but what's your budget for upgrades? You can probably get much better upgrades.

@Boinbo Not Much really 500 maybe I could do 600 but the GPU is a must

For $600, you could build a whole new better system

I5 7400 or i3 7300?

 

As for PSU, have you checked out the PSU tier list? I have it linked in my signature below, clock my PSU to see it

@fasauceomeits says 

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7500 CPU @ 3.40GHz

@Boinboisnt the 2060 better than the 1070? also isn't my current CPU better then the one you listed?

The 2060 and 1070 are evenly matched, and yeah it is. This is a build @LukeSavenije did in the discord, I used it, because I'm in a rush right now.

@Boinbo recommended a used 1070 in a prior parts list, used graphics cards are always a good idea imo. The 2060 is close to 1070 ti levels but is much more expensive, and your i5 may not be able to leverage all that GPU horsepower anyway.

I would say as others have pointed out: for $600 you can replace the CPU and Motherboard. Get a Ryzen 5 from the 3rd generation when they launch in a couple of weeks, and a cheap B450 motherboard.

 

If you get a motherboard with 4 ram slots, you can get an extra 8GB of ram (assuming your current setup is 2x4GB) and save some money on the RAM.

 

I wouldnt upgrade the PSU just to upgrade it, that is just wasting money. A 400Watt PSU should be fine for this system with a RTX 2060.

 

If you really just want to upgrade the GPU and ram, just do that. And save up for a new mobo and CPU later on. You can transfer the GPU and RAM over to a newer system later on.

 

Good luck!

The i5 7500 is not better than the Ryzen 5 1600. They are close, it would depend on the game. For newer titles that use more cores, the Ryzen's 6-cores would perform better than the i5 quadcore.
