So my current set up is a prebuilt cyberpower pc running an MSI A320M PRO-M2 V2 motherboard with 3 Apevia RGB fans with a 250GB SSD for the OS and 1TB HDD for games, Ive upgraded the graphics card to a Sapphire Radeon RX 580 and 2 8GB 3600 corsair RGB Vengeance PRO, an AMD Ryzen 7 2700x and Corsair 960GB M.2 SSD with a 650W EVGA PSU, All in a CyberpowerPC ONYXIA Mid-Tower Gaming Case. https://www.buyxg.com/spec/getspec.aspx?n=CAS&v=CyberpowerPC ONYXIA Mid-Tower Gaming Case w%2F USB 3.0%2C Front %26 Side Tempered Glass (Black Color)

 

So Im planning on adding 2 more 8gb 3600 corsair RGB Vengeance PRO ram sticks as well as another corsair M.2 SSD on an MSI Performance Gaming AMD X470 Ryzen 2 AM4 DDR4 Onboard Graphics SLI ATX Motherboard (X470 Gaming PRO Carbon). Also plan on swapping fans for Corsair iCUE QL120 RGB 120mm PWM Triple Fan with Lighting Node CORE with a Corsair QL Series, QL140 RGB, 140mm RGB LED Fan, Single Pack. Added as well would be CORSAIR iCUE Commander PRO Smart RGB Lighting and Fan Speed Controller with RGB LED Lighting PRO Expansion Kit and finally Sapphire 11293-03-40G Radeon Nitro+ Rx 5700 Xt 8GB GDDR6 Dual HDMI/ Dual DP OC (UEFI) PCIe 4.0 Graphics Card. As for the keyboard im not sure yet but i really like the looks of the Corsair Nightsword RGB, Performance Tunable FPS/MOBA Gaming Mouse, Black, Backlit RGB LED, 18000 DPI, Optical.

1. Budget & Location

So for the budget I am looking to spend a little under $1,500 USD and am based in Southern California in the United States.

2. Aim

The aim for this build is going to be mostly got gaming but also for daily use. The games I am intending to play are flight anf combat simulators as well as prepping for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

3. Monitors

Currently I am running a dual monitor set up and plan on upgrading one of the monitors down the line The first one is running at 1024x768 (not the best I know but its my old tv 37 inch) The other is my small dell monitor running at 1440x900

4. Peripherals

So down the line I am thinking about upgrading to a corsair mouse and keyboard as well as a new tv.

5. Why are you upgrading?

Im upgrading to in hopes free up my pc and prepare it for FS 2020 mostly. 

 

Not sure how this whole set up will work but am looking forward to the feedback thank you

So basically you want to core out the current gaming rig almost entirely saving what?  The case?   
 

 The monitors could both use a boost I think.  No reason to upgrade the GPU till that is done.  Both your monitors together don’t add up to 1080p

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Basically yes core it out and save the case, the drives, the cpu, and what ram I have now. I was thinking of first doing the motherboard and ram, and last thing the gpu, the rest of the stuff in no particular order
