Upgrade

[HunterSkater429]

What should I upgrade to.

 

I'll keep my 

 

  -Gpu (390) it meets my gaming requirements still so no need to change 

  -Ram if I stay ddr3 (16gb)

  -Psu (s12ii)

  -Cooler (212 Evo)

 -Case (s340 might get elite if in price range)

   -ssd and HDD (1tb and 1tb)

the thing is I want to go latest and greatest with ryzen or Intel but that would require me to go to ddr4 ram and I'd like 16gb, and I know ddr4 is still expensive last time I looked 16gb was over $100

 

So it would nice if people could give me a rig with ryzen or Intel skylake+(whatever you think is better for my seanrio) and a build that will still allow me to reuse my ram, so last ddr3 socket.

 

My requirements are this.

 

-white and black build.

-1080p ultra gaming.

-heavy VR games like fallout 4.

Just want it to last me the next 5 years of 1080p

 

Price range is well I'm not too sure, maybe around $800 or less as I don't need a full build especially if it's an older ddr3 one that I pick. But the lower the price the better. I can always save up money too that's not an issue.
