Upgrade for a partly 10 year old system

[JH17002723]

Current system:

• Xeon X3350
• 8GB DDR2
• RX 570 8GB
• Corsair VS650
• Some generic mid tower from 4 years ago
• Sandisk SSD PLUS

1. Budget & Location

I am hoping to not spend more than 300€ (living in Germany). I don't wanna get a completely new system, only upgrading some parts.

2. Aim

Gaming in 1080p on high setting. Currently in 60hz, thinking about upgrading to a 144hz one.

i also wanna do 1080p video Editing, as well as photo editing

3. Monitors

I am using either two 1080p monitors when gaming, or a 4K TV when consuming Movies or stuff)

4. Peripherals

Don't wanna switch these out

5. Why are you upgrading?

Having problems running games in 1080p.

also having a really bad experience in Video editing.

 

i was thinking about changing out CPU, Motherboard and RAM.

I think my GPU will still be good for some time for me.

i thought about a r5 2600 with a medium priced B450 motherboard and 16GB 3000mhz RAM (2x8GB).

do you think I will be good with this?

Would I be better with a r7 1700?

would be an X370 MB better?

is there anything I forgot about?

 

thanks 

 

 

ps: sorry if I did something wrong, don't post here frequently.

Your GPU is still decent for 1080p 60Hz.

Do I need a separate Cooler for the cpu or is the stock one enough?

The stock is enough for some low overclock but if you want to push it more you'll need another one.

The stock one is more than enough. It's miles above the intel stock one.

It is the 2600 which ships with a slightly worse cooler than it should, but it's still ABSOLUTELY PLENTY. Expect 60-70C max
