Ok so I right now have a prebuilt and it sucks. I’ve had it for about 2 years and i bought a 750ti for it and it’s all outdated. And I don’t want to keep upgrading parts 1 by 1. So what I decided to do was Take the 2tb storage,12gigs of ram and a 450 watt bronze psu, and throw away the rest.. So here is what i will be upgrading to. 

1)An AMD Ryzen 2600x

2)A Gtx 1060 6gb

3)A Corsair Carbide 270r Mid tower case

4)And I need help on what motherboard I need so if anyone can recommend a Motherboard around 100$ that would be great :)

But yeah I don’t know much about building but is it good?is it bad?Could it be better? And what motherboard do you recommend?

Gonna use for 1080p gaming

Any help is appreciated! :D

First: Don't get the 2600x the higher boost is useless since you will be overclocking the thing way past the advertised better speed the X has over the reg 2600. Therefore just GET THE 2600 and save money for something youll already be getting said performance. 

 

Second: Buy a better PSU there are always deals on fully modular 650 or 550 watt gold rated ones for 80 bucks and lower. FYI get the EVGA PSU's they are much better quality wise. And the warranty is much better as well. The bronze 450 one is crap best replace the crap one now instead of letting it fry all your new components right?? Ya

 

Third-  Get a RX580 8gb instead you get 2gb more vram at the same price and the card is slightly better in its performance. The 1060 isn't a good by once the 580 is the same price. so change that too.

 

Lastly-  For a motherboard the Cheaper ASrock AB450 line isn't out yet so if you need a mobo now get the the MSI X470 @120 for now.

 

You expect me to reply then you'd best QUOTE me so I can........thanks

Keep the 750Ti. You can flip it for $40 which can give you a better graphics card in your new build.

You can upgrade to 16GB of ram for an extra $80 if it fits in your budget, so you get dual channel.

Ok First Thank you all for the replies and here is what I took and might go with

Since I will be getting a ryzen 2600 I will get a better psu and oc it to match a 2600x or around it and now since I have more power I will get an Rx580 8gb

 

1)CPU AMD Ryzen 2600

2)PSU Corsair CXM 550 watt 80 bronze

3)GPU MSI RX580 8gb Armor MK2 OC

4)MB   MSI B 350

5)HD    2TB 

6)RAM 12gb(Will get more later)

7)Case Corsair 270r

 

 

Honestly This looks really good to what I had before and it has better specs at basically the same price I was gonna spend. 

So Think this is what I should get?

 

Edit:(Also where can I sell the 750ti?)
