Need help figuring out new build

[Donskis]

Hey

 

At the moment I have a prebuilt Acer Predator G3620 I bought nearly 4 years ago, and I've been wanting to upgrade it for some time. It's mainly the GPU, GTX 660, that I felt has been the limiting factor for better performance in games. I think I'm going to buy the 1060 or 480 to replace it with, but I've also been wanting to built my own new computer to have it be more upgrade-friendly in the next couple of years, so I've been planning on reusing the old parts from my prebuilt, so I could save some money, but I'm not sure if thats the best idea so I would love to get some input.

 

Im guessing I would have to buy a new motherboard, since I'm pretty sure the current one is a custom one that doesn't fit in a new case.

My current CPU is the i7-3770, which I would assume would be fine to pair with the 1060 or 480 for 1080p60fps for the next couple of years?

My current RAM consist of 4 x 4GB 1333MHz which I would guess also would be fine for a new build?

The power supply is a 500W, ( FSP500-70EP), which again I'm assuming would be fine and fit in the the new build?

And I'm also guessing i can reuse the 2 TB HDD + the SSD i recently installed?

 

Now, if I was to get a new motherboard and case, does anyone have some advise on which to get, since it's a bit confusing and overwhelming for me to figure out at the moment with all the motherboard sizes and socket types.  Thanks for any help or input

you can buy the case first and see if the mobo fits, although i think the mobo is a standard matx mobo. the i7 is still very good for gaming, shouldn't bottleneck the rx 480/gtx 1060/r9 390. the psu should be enough for the new gpu, FSP's usually a pretty decent OEM. if i were you i'd just upgrade the gpu, the rest of the parts doesn't look that bad.
