Upgrade suggestions needed

[shalbekoff]

Budget (including currency): Up to £600 (GBP)

Country: UK, Scotland

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games quite a bit (Diablo 4, Warzone/MW2/MW3, R6 Siege) and some work with Solidworks/Matlab CFD/tNavigator (not too heavy)

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc.): 

Hi everyone. I was just looking for some suggestions for an upgrade on my PC. I managed to snag a deal on 3060Ti and plugged it into my quite dated PC.

The PC components are Intel 6600K, ASRock z170 extreme 4, 16GB of Corsair ram, 650W silver power supply, Samsung evo SSD plus 2 TB HDD.

So, call it a rebuild around 3060Ti and scavenging some components from the previous system. Any suggestions to get the most out of this GPU?

What components do you plan on reusing?

Dump the PSU if you trust what you have.

Just over your budget but more powerful than than the one form Tetras.

Are A-series boards not crap this generation? The AM4 ones were horrible. Tetras' list should also be much faster in anything multicore, and OP isn't doing just games so that does matter here.

Dump the PSU if you trust what you have.

If you sub in a slightly cheaper PSU you can fit faster (and more importantly, much lower latency) RAM in the same budget:

I realise that only the case, drives, radiator, fans and possibly power supply can be reused
