It seems like I need to upgrade my old rig. I am using iut on my dad's house on my room's tv.

 

These are the current specs:

- Mobo: Asus P6T SE

- CPU i7 960 (OCed)

- 12 GB DDR3 Ram (8 in reality it seems...)

- 2x GTX 970

 

I currently inherited a 4k TV (60 fps capped) and yesterday a power outage seemed to have screwed up my mobo a bit, it only reccognized 4GB of RAM, after resitting the CPU managed for it to reccognized 8GB.

I was thinking of taking the chance on this black friday to upgrade mobo + cpu + ram, on a budget of around €350 and later on adding a newer graphics card.

 

What do you guys suggest? I'll mainly use it it for gaming. Curently playing RDR2.

Sell one 970, then use that + the 350 to upgrade the CPU, mobo, ram and the PSU. 

Get an ryzen 5 3600, a b450 mobo and 16gigs of ram, along with a decent PSU such a a corsair TXM.

 

Then upgrade the GPU later.
