Unless you have ddr4, you will need to get ram aswell, if you are getting a new cpu.

 

Imo go with cpu,ram if needed and psu. and if there's left overs get a case.

 1600 and 8400 are about the same price, but if you are playing in 1080p go with the i5

First, I would wait to see Ryzen 2, at the very least it will drop prices on last year's Ryzen. Personally I would go for the 8400, it has a little better performance it appears. Also, don't upgrade your PSU, better spend that money in another 8GB of RAM which you will need more. And see about getting an SSD, at least 120GB for OS.

Yes my ram is DDR4 and if i buy an 8TH gen cpu i must upgrade my Mobo 2.So what do you suggest.Should i buy A Z370 or wait for The B-H series?

Eclipse P400: Airflow? https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/2307-phanteks-eclipse-p400-review-benchmark-is-a-dlc-case?showall=1

maybe stay with the MOBO and just upgrade to i5 or i7 non k (core i 6000 series is not outdatet)

550W should be enough

I know its not outdated but is it worth it and is it future proof??I7 has 4 cores and 8 threads while the i5 8400 has 6/6.I will think about getting an 6th gen i7 cuz your point is right.I wont need a new mobo so i can spend these money on an ssd or smth.

Do you suggest me waiting for the new Intel's cpus?Oh and do you have any suggestions for a cheap SsD?

I wouldnt bother waiting for b and h series just to pay 30 to 40€ less. Just pick the cheapest z370 chip board that is available, they are all quite high quality. 
The one i have is asus prime z370-p and ive not found any issues with it

well id drop in an I5 6600 and a new GPU tbh, the other parts arent that worth upgradeing. sure the PSU isnt great but its not a disaster either

I would just get like a Samsung EVO 850 250GB, they're about $90 USD, and I wouldn't wait, there will always be something new around the corner, you can spend your whole life waiting to have the best and never get anything. Technology evolves too fast for that. Whatever you buy now will be old in a couple of months. I bought my 6700k last year and it's already 2 gens old...

Well i play on 1080p and i am not plannign to go further(for now)So i think 1060 is ok for me

then why spend money if what you have does what you want it to already? well i guess drop in an I5 7400 and replace the PSU then?

I got your point.Btw your is your cpu still good?I mean can you run current games at good frames/settings?

I3 6098 holding my Gpu back thats why i want to upgrade my CPU

then check if the motherboard has support for Kabylake, update the BIOS if it does and get an I5 7400 and a decent PSU at 500W or so

Don't mind me dropping in, but since Ryzen+ is scheduled for February, I think you should wait for then to get the equivalent to the Ryzen 5 1600. You could get the 1600 now if you can't wait. Buy a chipset that supports overclocking, it's not too difficult to overclock nowadays. Your VS550 power supply is perfectly fine for your system, so you don't need to replace it unless it is dying. Also, you might want to consider getting a 1500X or it's Ryzen+ equivalent just for gaming, but the two extra cores of the 1600 for not a lot more are a good deal.

 

Or you could go with the i5 7400 as some have suggested, but your psu is fine. I just think 1600 or the ryzen+ equivalent are more future-proof because of the 6 core 12 thread layout. AMD has also promised long processor support on their AM4 motherboards, and has shown that they have long support on their previous sockets (AM3, FM2). Intel has not shown that, and you have to replace your motherboard after you're done with the i5 7400.

why changing the PSU if you are on a budget? 

with 22db at 50% load and not beeing one of these china firecracker it is quiet not that awful

Yeah i was thinking the same

Yeah my mobo supports 6th gen and 7th gen cpus so i could buy an i5 7400

I was asking myself if its worth upgrading my psu and everyone was telling the exact same thing as you do.Thanks for the tip you saved me a couple of bucks

Those who say Corsair VS PSUs are good or accpetable needs some 're-education', as Communist governments call it. That is a fire hazard, both the orange and grey label one. Considering that a PSU is as important to a PC as a heart to anyone, you should change it out to something a lot better. There's a PSU tier list in the PSU subforums here, check it out and pick one ranked tier 3 or above.

 

For the CPU, any 6th or 7th gen (this needs BIOS update) i5s are good enough since you stay with a gtx 1060. Look for the used market, since 8th gen encouraged many to upgrade from their 6th/7th gen system.

 

Then slap in an SSD as boot device. This depends on what money you have left really. Crucial MX300 275GB, Adata SU800 256GB and Samsung 850 Evo 250GB are all good, though you should get their 500GB version if you can afford it.

source?

not a single RAPEX datapoint for corsair

 

Dont buy because of the brand name. These are business people, willing to do anything legal to make money, without concern to morals.

Corsair isnt the producer of any power supply, they just handle their design to other OEMs and let them fill in the gaps on which exact component to use. That's why some are good (like RMx, TXM), while some are shit (VS, old green label CX). Same goes to other names like Thermaltake (Tt), Cooler Master and so on. There are also brands which take others design, swap the exterior, and boom they get a new product, like EVGA, which also leads to some PSUs being crap while some being great. For these names, their PSUs need individual reviews.

If looking up to every PSU is tiring, check out the PSU tier list here on the forums.

@Jurrunio vs450 and vs550 are not the same: http://www.corsair.com/~/media/corsair/download-files/manuals/corsair-psu-spec-table.pdf

i won't say that the vs550 are great but not awful, it still have protection and gone through certification. Why fire hazzard? 

 

ps: your link says can delivere more then 450W, well thats the peak power for the vs450, nothing you should handle as continus load

The problem is the unreliable capacitors. They blow often, which means all the ripple filtering are gone. This causes spike in voltage which can cause damage to the PC components.

 

I call these official material bullshit because companies never list weaknesses out. Those open-shell reviews I have linked are what I trust.

 

As for VS550 and VS450 being different enough to not be awful... You should give proof on that statement. Usually the entire PSU series are made by the same OEM sharing many components.
