fx 6300 upgrade

[bassisto]

Alright, I've been planning on doing an upgrade on this computer for a while now but never got around to doing so.  Now that Ryzen is here (not that I'm opposed to an intel chip) I think its finally time.

 

1. Budget & Location

~$1000 US

2. Aim

Upgrade my current computer that is shared between two people, mainly for gaming. Overwatch, WoW, GTAV and Fallout are the highest used games.

More than likely I won't do too much (if any) of an overclock since I have no real idea of what I'm doing there.

3. Monitors

Two at 1920x1080

4. Peripherals

None needed.

5. Why are you upgrading?

Most games are pushing the cpu almost to its limit, Overwatch in particular.

I was looking into a Ryzen 5 1600 build, but am completely open to suggestions. 

 

I appreciate any help you could give me.

Are you keeping the GPU?

I would recommend keeping the GPU, the SSD, the HDD-s, the case and the PSU if it's still under warranty (if not, it should be changed, Rosewill is not a high end brand).

Keep everything else from your previous build

That's a really good build. Could toss in a new PSU if the one he has starts having issues. Can get solid ones for 50-60 USD.

Another option, if a new PSU is in order.

Here is an Intel build. More processing power with a new case (for USB 3) and psu. A new gpu that has about half again the performance of the exiting one.
