So I am updating my 6 year old PC and I wanted to reuse some of the old parts within it. I’ll mostly be playing shooters or open world games (Rust, Escape from Tarkov, Rainbow Six Siege and Battlefield)  I don’t know if I should trash it all and just buy a new gaming computer or do the following:

Old setup:

GTX 750 EVGA

i7-4820k

MSI X79-GD45 Plus

8gb of Ram

500 W Power Supply

 

Parts from old PC that I plan on carrying over:

i7-4820k 3.7Ghz not overclocked

Msi X79-GD45 Plus

2 TB WD HDD

 

Parts I plan on buying:

16 gb DDR3 Ram

EVGA GTX 1660 Ti XC

Corsair 650W power supply

Dark Rock Slim to cool CPU (want air cooling)

For case I was stuck between Corsair 275R or NZXT H500

500 GB Samsung SSD

What's your budget/country for the upgrades? You should just focus on a GPU and power supply first, the RX 5700 is really hard to beat for new cards.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

$600 give or take. I was going to get the GPU gifted to me

Then maybe just go for a 1TB SSD and buy the case later.

Should also really get a case with a mesh front for better airflow, like the coolermaster MB511, or Cougar MX330
