Thinking About Upgrading My System

Hardyous

Hello There! So, I have this computer for some years now:

MB: Asrock 970 pro3 R2.0

CPU: FX 6300 6-core 3.5 Ghz. 14MB 

COOLER: Hyper 212 EVO 

GPU: MSI Twin Frozr Gaming Geforce GTX 760 (OC Edition)

PSU: XFX Pro 550

 

RAM - R.I.P.

and Storage: Can´t remember since my computer is not with me for some time now. 

 

I am looking to make some upgrades, since my pc now only knows bluescreens and freezes.

Since I am a nostalgic (probably stupid) person, with a spending budget of less than 1k, I am looking to this:

 

MB: Asus ROG Crosshair V Formula C5F  AM3+ 990FX PCI-E3.0 SATA3 USB3.0 DDR3 32G ATX - 146.94 EUR

CPU: AMD FX-9370 BE Octa-Core 4.4GHz c/ Turbo 4.7GHz 8MB SktAM3+ - 129.90 EUR

COOLER: Air NOCTUA NHD15 or Water Corsair Hydro Series (I want to OC the board) - 94.90/104.90 EUR

GPU: Asus ROG STRIX 1050 TI 4gb (or 1060 3gb?) - 194/257.08 EUR

PSU: EVGA 600W - 64.90 EUR

RAM: 2x8 HyperxFury 1600 ddr3

 

I'll keep my 60 hz benq monitor. This is aimed mainly for some gaming and work. Would like to see pubg in this eheh. But mostly CSGO, fortnite and work.

 

 

I don't include storage and case because I'll take advantage of them.

 

I need some advising about this if you can. I'll surely appreciate it! 

 

Cheers, from Portugal

don't get an older FX CPU, go for a ryzen 1600+B350/450 board or i5 8400+B360 board instead.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Heatsink: Gelid Phantom Black GPU: Palit RTX 3060 Ti Dual RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz mobo: Asus X570-P case: Fractal Design Define C PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 650W

shitty single core performance, and it's old as dirt. a ryzen 1200 will beat it in games easily. also, spend more for a better PSU like a corsair CX/vengeance, be quiet pure power 10 or coolermaster masterwatt.

You'll have to quote people like I am right now to get a reply.

 

The FX CPUs were introduced in 2011 and were shit, even when they were first released.

IMO PSU should be Tier 5. It's missing protections, doesn't even have that good electrical performance, and isn't even Had well certified.
