Budget PC Upgrade

[VWave]

For a few months now I've been planning on upgrading my computer. I currently have:

 

• i5 3470 3.20 GHz
• 8 GB Vengeance RAM
• B75M-D3H
• Radeon RX 550 4 GB

 

was planning on getting the i5 9400f but I decided to go with Ryzen, so this is what I'm getting:

• Ryzen 5 2600 or 2600x, not sure
• Kingston HyperX 8GB DDR4 3200Mhz CL16 (planning on getting another one of these in the future)
• B450M DS3H

Sticking with the RX 550 until I eventually save up for a GTX 1650 VENTUS XS 4GB probably, not sure tho.

 

Also not sure on what PSU I should get that's not very expensive and also does not explode.

 

What do you think, should I change something? give me your thoughts

get the 1600af and a asrock b450 pro4 or msi b450 pro-vdh.

for psu, get a corsair cx450

for gpu, get a rx570

If you can find a Ryzen 5 1600AF instead you could save a few bucks.

If you can wait and you're on a budget these new Zen 2 CPUs could be a good idea:

Get the 2600 it’s a fair price for the bang.

Sorry, I didn't specify, I meant the motherboard was too expensive for me, not the cpu, my bad

This is the cheapest B450 motherboard I would recommend: ASRock B450M PRO4 Micro ATX.

Personally I'll go for the good motherboard and upgrade the cpu along the way...am4 should be getting 7 new cpu in the 4000s sku...

Why should I go with an expensive motherboard when the one I'm buying already has everything I want/need, which would be it being compatible with the Ryzen 5 2600 and I can overclock on it

others either don't have the products or are more expensive

if the gaming plus is too expensive, go for the ds3h, knowing that you're limited to 6 core cpus, as it can't really handle an 8 core

the 2600 is a six core, so I'm fine
