Upgrading old PC

[PolishGuy]

Budget (including currency): 650 euros

Country: The Netherlands

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for:  mostly Apex Legends occasionally some other games like Gta v or something like that

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

 

Current PC: Hp pavilion 500-115ed with a gtx 1050 ti added

Existing parts: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Buuverss/saved/#view=8VkrrH

motherboard : Hp Memphis-S Case : basic Hp pavilion h500-115ed case and a hp power supply 

 

Parts i plan to upgrade: see image below \/

 

Im planning on buying the parts in a couple of days, maybe even tomorrow, so if you think i should change any part feel free to comment to what part and why it would be better.

 

The only thing that really bugs me is if i should but the Samsung 970 Evo m.2 Ssd for 31 euros more than the crucial p1, the only up side i see on the samsung is its faster write and read speeds (1400mb/s faster write and 1500m/s faster read) i have never used an ssd so i am not sure if spending the 31 euros on the sumsung would be worth it (help me with this please)

 

later on when i get enough money i plan on buying an used gtx 1080ti (for around 300-350 euro)

 

Right now i play at 1080p 60hz because of my monitor and the gtx1050 ti but later on when i have the gtx 1080 ti i plan on buying a 144hz monitor.

 

Thanks for reading and maybe commenting.

Have a nice day, Polish Guy.

First of I'd sell your old PC (except for 1TB drive) and get some more money. Second, buying a GTX 1080Ti isn't worth it in 2020 for 300-350€, since RTX 3000 series and RDNA2 are coming in September/October. No you don't have to change the Crucial SSD for the Samsung. I'd invest those 30€ in a GPU. You don't need to buy an aftermarket cooler right away because it's best to invest that money as well in a GPU. The Phanteks Eclipse P300 isn't a good case. You need the new Phanteks Eclipse P300A Mesh for good airflow, or go with a different case.

The stock cooler does a fine job. No need for an aftermarket cooler when u r in a budget. Use that saved money somewhere else 

Also, you will be fine with crucial p1.

I'll think about the gtx 1080, still got some time before I have the money for it and and the case is the A variant so I'll just go with it
