Hey everyone! Im currently looking to upgrade my existing PC, my current parts are listed above and i want to upgrade to decently new parts but not too expensive.

 

My current motherboard does not have Bluetooth nor wireless internet capabilities so im using an extension to get my wireless internet. Aswell im unable to update to windows 11 since my motherboard isnt compatible. 

 

I have the Samsung 970 Evo but im looking to upgrade that too to have more space for more games and recording/streams. Looking for 2 terabyte if possible.

 

Finally, im also looking to upgrade my graphics card from the msi geforce gtx 1650 to something a tad better. 

 

Any and all help is very much appreciated!

If you don't need to upgrade to windows 11 and fine with your current board.

I also assume you are running games in 1080p now, with $2000 you could get up to 1440p, so I include a good 1440p monitor.

If you would like to upgrade to windows 11 and would like better motherboard, might as well change the whole platform.

I'd wait for 13th gen reviews, see if they're worth it, at the very least 12th gen would drop a bit, maybe go with a 13600kf/12700kf.
