Hi Guys,

 

I am looking at upgrading my current build that is going on 6 years old now, Was just hoping to get some thoughts on my planned upgrade. I plan on reusing my existing case, RAM, and storage with the only things to be upgraded to be the CPU, GPU, Motherboard and PSU.

 

See list in this link: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/bCrpHG

 

I have a preference for ASUS products as i have used them in a few builds and they have been reliable and not caused any issues at all for me.

 

Thanks
