@LinusTech Please help? 🙏 I have an old PC built my self and looking for tips to upgrade it.

Sabertooth 990FX

Amd 9590FX

Palit GTX 980 super jet stream

Do I need to start again from scratch? or could any of it be recycled? 🤔 Thanks

What do you want your PC to do?  What does your current rig NOT do that you need it to?

 

What's your budget?  What games, resolution, etc. do you want to play?  Do you render video?  Do you eat steak rare or medium?

"Do what makes the experience better" - in regards to PCs and Life itself.

Blue rare please.

 

Anyway. Back on topic. There isn't much you can "upgrade". FX platform is dead, so you will need a new platform if you want a modern CPU and RAM. B450 is an obvious choice if you need gaming system.

 

You could use old drives and possibly your PSU.

Main system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Asus ROG Strix B650E / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000Mhz / Powercolor RX 7900 XTX Red Devil/ EVGA 750W GQ / NZXT H5 Flow

I want it for gaming really. I would like to play in 1440p at 60fps with little drop in frame rate. 

I like to play ARK but my rig Can't seem to handle it without Crashing all the time.

I don't want to spend loads of cash but will spend what I need to to improve it.

 

I like my steak medium with a drop of peppercorn sauce 😋

Should be enough to get 60 fps on 1440p games, assuming you have a good power supply, storage, and case.
