Hello all, so I need some help and suggestions.I’m planning to build a new pc but I guess I will start it at the end of the summer or middle of autumn because of GPU prices…But before that I want to ask people opinions.Firstly what I have now:

  • I5-3470s with artic freezer 11 LP cooler
  • MSI h61ma-e35 motherboard
  • GTX 1050 2Gb VRAM
  • 8Gb(2x4) ddr3 1333Mhz RAM
  • 1Tb WD Blue HDD + 250Gb Seagate HDD
  • 128Gb ADATA SU800 SSD
  • CORSAIR CX450M PSU

So what my plans are:

  • Ryzen r5 1500x ( maybe 1600 but still not decided cause It will depend how much it cost when I will buy it , or maybe 1400 ? But I guess the 1500x would be the best choice, if I have spare money I definitely go with 1600 but it’s still not decided ) Also I read rumours about i5 with 6cores, is it true ? Maybe I should wait for them ?
  • ASRock AB350M PRO4 Motherboard
  • 8Gb DDR4 RAM 3000-3200Mhz ( probably insert 8gb more later )
  • New case ( still searching for best option, but I guess it will be Deepcool D-SHIELD )
  • And I will use some parts from my current pc ( CX450M PSU which is quite new , 1tb hdd and 128gb ssd )

Now I have some questions:

  1.  I bought GTX 1050 2gb when It was released cause my old gpu died and I thought that it will be enough for me…I was wrong..( it’s still enough for games that I play but upcoming games probably will run only on low settings , btw I’m using 1080p monitor and I not planning to change it any time soon.)Now I’m thinking should I sell my GTX 1050 when I will build my new PC and buy RX570/580 ( mainly want RX580 ) when prices goes normal again or should I wait for new GTX series ( not sure if they were announced or no , or maybe new RX  series ? btw I won’t look at RX Vega cause I guess the price will be much higher than my budget ( I can spend for GPU  around RX 570/580/GTX 1060 3Gb normal prices ).
  2. Second question would be , maybe my current PC is still good enough for lets say one year ? Or maybe I just need to wait for normal GPU prices and sell my GTX 1050 and buy RX 570 /580 ?
  3. Last question would be if I sell my current PC how much can I get for:
  • i5-3470s with artic freezer 11 LP cooler
  • MSI h61ma-e35 motherboard
  • 8Gb(2x4) ddr3 1333Mhz ram
  • 250Gb HDD ( it’s quite old Seagate hdd but It’s still working good )
  • No name case :D
  • Technoware 420W psu ( it’s still working good , but it’s really unsafe psu so I guess it doesn’t worth anything :D)

How much can I get for this in € with GTX 1050 and without it ( if I sell it without GPU ) ??

I would wait a bit before buying anything, ethereum mining craze is ending, so you might be able to pick up a cheap 1070 in a bit.

As I wrote, I won't buying anything now.Also do you talking about an used 1070 ? Cause I guess it's still be more expensive than my budget so 1070 is not an option for me.As I said my budget for GPU is around RX570/580 and GTX 1060 3gb when the prices was normal ( before mining ) and not more.

1070s were just over 300 before the craze started, wait for that, 

 

6 core i5 is a rumour about coffeelake which is not confirmed by intel

You are talking about used or new ? Cause I looked at retailer site where I'm buying everything for my pc in my country so the chepest 1070 was above 400€.And also I don't like buying used things.

Chill a bit until prices on GPU's drop, might be worth it.

Aside from that I think you'll be able to get about 200-300 euro for your old rig since I'm guess ing it doesnt have an OS.
That's coming from a guy who buys and sells ALOT second hand. :)

 

Man that Deepcool was ugly.

Do you need a drive bay? If not I recommend:
NZXT S340 (Elite)
Phanteks P400S with TG panel

 

And if you need a drive bay:
Fractal Design R5

Corsair Carbide Clear 600C (black/white)

All these cases are expensive for me.I don't need fancy looking case, I really don't care about how case looks.So deepcool d-shield looked good for me for how much it cost.I would say no more than 30€ for case.Better spend more money on main parts than case.
