So I built a budget rig just over 3 years ago. It wasn't the most powerful then but, I was in college and it worked for my budget. With games being more and more demanding now it has really fallen behind. I'm thinking about making a new Intel build (my current one is AMD) but, I haven't kept up with newer CPUs, GPUs, memory, mobo, etc. What are some good components to look into that will last awhile and run games like BF1 and R6S on high settings with no problems. I don't really want to compromise too much but don't want to break the bank either. Any help is appreciated.

I'm not too sure on the budget since I don't haven't kept up with components and prices. I'll be reusing the case and fans. I'm guessing around $600 maybe. Some suggestions around that price point, maybe a little higher, would be nice. I don't know how much ram to get either. I have 8GB now but the BF1 requirements recommend 16GB, and I'd rather not jump to DDR4 because of the cost but may need to if it means the system lasting longer.

I was thinking about this build maybe.https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

I think that would be a solid build but I'd like to cut the cost some, maybe by getting a 3GB GPU instead of 6GB. Other than that what are your opinion of that build as far as being able to run games on high settings, 1920*1080, and opinions on the motherboard. Motherboards are what I know least about as far as what are good ones and what features to look for.

This would run similar to what you listed.

Ok, thanks. I'm mainly looking for something to run BF1 on high settings that doesn't break the bank and also won't be obsolete in 2 years.
