Your CPU is pretty bottlenecked by your graphics card so I'd suggest either getting a cheaper CPU to save a bit of money, or getting a more powerful GPU. https://pc-builds.com/calculator/ is a pretty good site for checking if your system is bottlenecked. I'd also say 32GB of RAM is slightly overkill for casual gaming so you could drop that to 16GB if you wanted to save a bit more cash :)

Man that was a nice rig you had back in the day haha

 

Here's what I'd recommend for the parts, if you want to build the computer now:

Better PSU, GPU, case and motherboard. Tbh I think 16GB of RAM will be more than enough for your use case, and you'll still have the option to throw in another 16GB later on down the line.

I'd probably advise you wait though for new hardware to come out, since we'll most likely be getting new CPUs and GPUs around late Q3/early Q4.

Bottleneck calculators just spit out nonsense, please don't use them.

Thanks fore the replies, I will be looking into upgrading the Graphics card. I have changed to the Asus Prime mother board as it has some better specs. I will take the Ripjaws RAM because they are a little cheaper, but still 2*16 GB. And the Adata M.2 is an unknown to me, but the reviews are good so I take it.
