If you could fit it in your budget then I would build a new pc, however to keep the cost a bit lower you could go with slightly older generation pieces as it might be less efficient upgrading this, thats why i'm doing a big upgrade from my 4th gen i7

PC Specs: Motherboard: MSI Tomahawk X570  CPU: Ryzen 5900X  CPU Cooler: NZXT 240 mm Kraken Series AIO     GPU: Asus Strix ROG 1080 TI OC Edition    PSU: Corsair RM850 850W   Storage: 2 X 4TB, 2 X 1TB HDD And 1 X 1tb m.2 samsung 980 pro Case:  NZXT H440 2015 Edition

Okey ... so let say to upgrade only mobo to z390 and go with i7 8700k is it worth it or go completely with amd and ryzen 5 3600

So its in your budget, what games does your brother play?

 

EDIT: to upgrade your CPU you will need to upgrade your ram also as its DDR3 instead of DDR4

Hows that possible?? motherboards before 5th (ish) gen use ddr3 ram, ddr4 wouldn't work on them
