So you have 1000 to spend on parts besides these?

[itsjaydenn]

Ok and do you need a monitor keyboard and mouse with that?

And is the Cooler Master Fan a Cpu cooler?

[itsjaydenn]

No sir. I have the mouse, keyboard and monitor already.

You can change the game around for what you are playing.

What RAM is it? If it's DDR3, You won't be able to reuse it on a modern platform.

Don't recommend Kaby. For anything. Cheaper Coffee or Ryzen CPUs will perform the same or better. The 7700K also doesn't come with a cooler, which you'll have to add to the price. And a $140 locked motherboard just doesn't make sense.

True, I'm pretty sure he has a CPU cooler though.

[itsjaydenn]

Yes its a DDR3.

Well, sadly, nothing new supports ddr3. So if you want to upgrade you should sell those sticks. You will need dd4 ram.

This is my current setup right now. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DcY64D

Yeah to get a good upgrade you might have to add some ddr4.

Will you be overclocking?

[itsjaydenn]

I never overclock or even tried to. lol. But i would still like to have that option.

Okay so here is an Intel build i put there 1070 in case you can stretch your budget a little bit(selling old ram sticks). If it wont be possible try getting 1060 6gb version. If you want to go AMD just swap cpu/mb for ryzen 5 1600/asrock ab350 pro4. New amd cpus are coming out soon if you do not mind waiting. I also highly recommend changing your psu. It has its age and it is not the best psu.
