I have several systems and I'm attempting to put the best of what is working together into two complete working gaming computers. One dedicated to pure gaming and the other to stream, video edit, and gaming. I do plan to build a brand new system late 2017/mid 2018.

 

Items with *** are planned new parts.

 

Upgrade One

 

CPU - AMD FX 9590

Motherboard - ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0

RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws Z 4x8GB DDR3 - 2400 ***

GPU - ASUS GTX 960 2GB

Case - CFI Pharaoh EVO

Storage -  1 TB HDD

PSU - 600 watt 80+

Display - 32 in Vizio TV 

Cooling - AIO 360mm

 

Upgrade Two

 

 

CPU - AMD FX 4100

Motherboard - Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 ***

RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws Z 4x8GB DDR3 - 2400 ***

GPU - ASUS GTX 960 2 GB

Case - Thermaltake Commander MS 1

Storage - 

PSU - 600 watt 80+

Display - Old Dell monitor

Cooling - Stock Heatsink

 

Mistakes on current parts possible. Need to pull a lot out to see what I actually have. All parts outside of those marked "***" are used parts that have been untested...yet. I'm looking for future proofing the 9590 for another five years but plan to build a new Ryzen system for streaming, gaming and minor video editing and retiring the 4100 to general use only. I'm in the SE USA so it gets hot and humid. My budget is... I can set aside 100-200 a month if I push it. Any changes or other recommendations?

 

EDIT - Looking for suggestions for every part. Owned, planned, or blank
