CPU Upgrade

[Jittqr]

So I have an old alienware x51 R2 I believe with an i7-3770, 16gb of DDR3 Ram 2x8, a GTX 1060 3GB, a Samsung 860 Evo SSD 512GB, and whatever motherboard or power supply or anything else that is in the PC. I was planning on upgrading my motherboard to allow for upgradability in the future but the problem I ran into was that I would need a new case, new ram, a new motherboard(obviously), and a new CPU at the least. I'm still not sure if I would need to get a new power supply or not or anything else. What I found was that at micro center I could get a Ryzen 7 2600X with a Wraith Prism Cooler for $129.99, Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 2 x 8GB DDR4-3200 for $59.99, an ASRock B450 PRO4 AM4 ATX AMD Motherboard for $52.96 after rebate, and a $34.99 Thermaltake ATX case with a tempered window after $30.00 rebate. I added these up and I got $277.93 without tax but I'm on a budget so I was wondering if anyone has any ideas or input that would help me decide how to upgrade to allow for future modifications.

That build seems fairly economical and a decent value.  Can't say I would change anything.

rebates don’t always happen. Iirc at one point someone noticed that only 20% of rebates are actually successfully collected.  Most people forget or don’t fill them out right.  If they do they can often take a year.  If you don’t fill them out perfectly they throw them away.
