PSU? GPU? SSD? Case?

I'd say get AM5

just some words of advice

A normal 2tb drive is the same price as that 980 pro 1tb

The 7600x has the same gaming performance as the 7600 except draws more power and is harder to cool  

AM5 really favours lower latency i.e. 5600 cl28 or 6000 cl30 is the sweet spot to get the highest performance in games

Overall, the build is quite good

Keep the Ram

Shame, was upgradable to a 5800X3D and 7800XT but too many other shortfalls that add to the cost, from limiting Motherboard, SSD, case and PSU. Not worthwhile so new is better for you.

 

If I saw a PC like that one Ebay, I'd pay maybe £300~. £350 if it was really posh in ideal condition. Everyone avoids those kingston SSD's and it has limited upgrade potential, something I'm running into trying to get you a cheap upgrade rather than a £1200 replacement.
