Looking to upgrade

[Caolan.Kelly]

Hey guys I'm looking to update my pc as it's got a bit old.

I'm looking at getting a new case, motherboard, cpu ( ryzen 5 3600), fans and a new 144 hz monitor 

My budget is around 600 € and was hoping to get an rgb style theme going on, and an atx form factor motherboard .I'm based in Ireland. 

I was hoping to get a ryzen 5 3600 as the cpu 

Thank you for any help 

 

The current pc specs are a 

1060 6GB 

16gb ddr4 

A gigabyte b450 micro atx 

I5 6400

 

I can get more spec details when I get home if needed

Next upgrade could be the ram since you probably have low clock ones.

Thanks for the reply I know I can get the cpu for 175 on Amazon so that will save some money, 

I was looking at a similar mother board, the carbon plus gaming by msi 

I think the ram is ddr4 2600 or more

If it's the B450, it's a good one though more expensive, the x570 one is bad.

Thanks will definitely look into that board, and I quite like that case, Is there any case fans you would recommend with this case, that aren't extremely pricey

The MSI B450 Gaming Plus I recommend is by far the best of those 3.
