Upgrading my PC

[toudei]

Hello gamers, I decided to upgrade a little bit my budget PC.

Current specs:

Geforce 1060 3gb

Pentium CPU G2120 3.10GHz 3100megahertz

Motherboard - Gigabyty H61M-S2PV

4gb RAM

PSU is attached pictures(sorry for the quality)

Tell me please if you need any other specs.
(also sorry is it's a wrong thread, would appreciate if you tell me where should I post it to get some help)

 

So I was struggling with this bottleneck and my PC for as long as I've got this computer. I dont have much money to upgraded, I really wish I could, because I can't play like 8\10 games I want, everything is lagging, freezing and fps is usually lower than 30. But enough is enough. I'm a little low on budget, however I have aroung 500$(+\-), and I want to buy a new motherboard, CPU and RAM. Please let me know what is the best pair for my GPU. I know that it's not a lot of money, but I'm aiming to get 50-60 stable FPS in games like Warzone, GTA5 etc. (Also I'm not really a pc-guy, so I probably won't understand if you gonna speak some technical language, so keep it simple if possible :)) Appreciate your help!

Just a heads up but the psu will be needed to replaced too because it's a terrible unit.

 

You could easily fit a good psu ryzen 3300x,  b450 motherboard and 16gb of ram in that budget.

$500 dollars is actually a pretty decent amount for this kind of upgrade. I would look at buying a ryzen 3300X for about $120, paired with a B450 board for about $100, then add in a 2x8GB ram kit for about $70. I would then save the remaining $210 for a gpu upgrade in the future

or he could use that money now to buy a decent psu to future proof himself in the future as the current psu he has won't last him much longer as its a pretty bad unit

Just to throw in my 2 cent. I have a GTX 1060 6gb. Everything else you can see in my signature below. So right now you can get a AMD Ryzen 3600 for around $167.00 off Newegg or Amazon. A nice B450 motherboard will do you for now and it will support the Ryzen. With the Memory, you can go cheap with it as long as it is either 3200Mhz or higher. This should keep you under you budget of 500.00

This is $374.87

I would aim for something like this:

Motherboard	MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard	$114.99 @ Best Buy
Memory	Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory	$73.98 @ Amazon

Few things to note. The 3300X seems to be out of stock everywhere at the moment, so make sure you do not pay much more than the 120 dollar msrp for it. Also, the psu is very overkill, but there are very few reasonably priced decent units at the moment

I almost picked the same thing but I but in a little RGB because RGB BABY. Did not add a power supply

[toudei]

Thank you everyone for such a fast replies!

That sounds good altough in my country there's a much higher prices for this, but I'll look into it for sure.
Heard a lot of "rumors", or maybe it's true, that AMD is heating hard and not as good as Intel.

However I think that for its price AMD way better than Intel

[toudei]

So should I buy a new PSU too?

[toudei]

Or will it be good with Ryzen 3600 + MSI B450 + G.skill Ripjaws 16gb

Sorry if it's a stupid question

Only if you get into Threadripper, but that CPU is outside of your budget alone.

You could try the Ryzen 2600, it is still relevant to todays games. As for the PSU, a new one say at 650w would be better. Also A suggestion that marmour said in an above post

You can get a decent GPU like a 1650 for around $180.00. Just a few more suggestions.
