If you could list your complete system specifications, I am certain we could figure something out.

Yeah so that maybe you could salvage some parts of it.

[Joshua124]

Actually 600 cause for 700 I can get a prebuilt form I buy power with ryzen5 3600 and 1660 and that’s the same specs I was thinking so 600 the cheaper the better I still want good performance tho

Cause I do have an i7 that like 3.6 ghz and it’s good with 5 cores I think I’m not sure but it’s from a laptop I don’t think you can put laptop cpu in desktop

laptop cpus don't work in desktops

You should know what is your current motherboard compatibility before going out and buying a cpu, and from there you can find a gpu which would make a balanced combo

For 600 bucks its worth getting a new system instead of upgrading something that old

For 600 you aren't playing cyberpunk, but almost everything else would work completely fine at 1080p 60fps with esports at 1080p 144fps

Obviously you can get better by paying more, but you can get an enjoyable experience for that price.

This would be a good buy if you have $600 and need the gpu now:
