The armor sucks ass

Try using the PSU Tier List!

Oof that will bottleneck.  What's your current card with that system?

if i were you id get the ryzen 2600 its 160 and has 6 cores and 12 threads. the rx 580 sapphire nitro plus is 240$ and has a better cooler but if your on a strict budget then the armor model is 200$

The graphics card will have to be bought first because if I upgraded the CPU ill need to change the board and RAM as well
