As you can see my CPU, motherboard and RAM is a little bit outdated... so is the graphics card...

 

I want to know if you can give me advice on wich components to change (and actual examples of models) with my budget, 430 € (200 up or down...)

 

Thank you :)

 

Edit: I usually use my computer to play AAA games (when possible) and for video and photo editing using the Adobe Suite

Thank you both,


but what if we rise the budget to 630 €

 

can we upgrade the three of them?

 

Im really lost with Ryzen and how to compare the multi core / multi threads against the 3770 (especially for gamming)

And the motherboard im used to a e atx or atx form factor to fill my case a little bit

Something like this...

I'll highly recommend you to try to fit in something like a 5700/5700xt.

Thank you all and sorry for being late answering. 

 

Im definitely warning to go AMD but I also want to have a top Tier cpu and motherboard to... not overkill, but something that can't get obsolete in a few years (my 3770 still works more or less for me).

Maybe i need a little bit more of budget to get what I want... I mean, a ryzen 7 cpu, a good motherboard and something like that...

That looks a lot better :)

 

but, what I will notice when upgrading this way? 

I mean, gaming wise (fps) or editing in lightroom...

average fps won't increase much, as that is dictate mostly by gpu. you'll get less stutters and much higher 1% low fps (so everything will be smoother), but in therms of average fps, maybe a 10% increase (depending on the game).

in terms of editing, it will make a major difference,  probably reducing your processing and waiting times in half, at least.

It is worth it then!!

Also de RAM will be a big change!

 

My only concern is that my AiO is the Corsair H115i (old one) and i dont know about incompatibilitys :/

IIRC, H115i does support am4 socket.

 

If you don't have the retention bracket, then you'll have to get one from the corsair website.
