Hi guys, starting a new build to replace my old PC. Spec of my old PC is asrock 970m pro3, FX 8350, GTX 770, 12GB RAM, 120GB SSD and 1TB HDD.

 

The spec I am going with would be GIGABYTE B450 AORUS M, Ryzen 5 2600, RX480, 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000Mhz RAM, 120GB SSD, 2TB HDD and a 650W Gold + modular PSU from corsair. 

 

Would performance on the new build be equal to what I had before? I just need to get something organized to do me for a year or two until I can build a monster of a PC.

 

Anyone able to advise? I live in the UK and want to stay around that price range for parts. I would mainly be using the PC for playing Teamfight Tactics, Modern Warfare, The Outer Worlds and a few games similar to these along with streaming PS4 gameplay via OBS and an elgato.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'd keep an eye on ebay for second hand rx480/580. they are usually around £100 for the 8gb option. I'd go for the 580 if the price difference is small enough (less than £15). Also could look at second hand deals from cex, as they have a 2 year warranty.

I will be getting the RX480 for free from my brother who only used the card for around 9/12 months until he upgraded to a GTX 1060

oh ok. looks great otherwise. you can probably go with a 550W psu. the corsair tx550m is only £63 on amazon. I'd also keep the old 1tb hdd, probably no need to replace it. if you need more storage, just add next to it.

In term of performance, you can expect with this setup to play most AAA games at 60 fps and most esports at 90fps.
