Hi and welcome,

Your current PC is not compatible at all with the new Ryzen CPU, you'll need a new motherboard & RAM as well as the Ryzen

That's a big question, to help narrow it down, what do you want to do with the PC & what's your budget?

Just for gaming and also other tasks on the pc like just browsing the internet. But I mostly need for gaming like to play fifa 20 and the new call of duty when it comes out. Budget is not a problem for me.

Ok, so I'm assuming your current PC is a pre-built store PC like a Lenovo? & judging by the age of the other components you'll likely have an old & very basic power supply, this is one of the key PC parts to get right, so that'll need upgrading also.

At this stage you're looking at a whole new PC. Do you have a good screen or does that need upgrading?

Do you want another pre-built or would you like to build it yourself?

Yes I have a good screen. I would prefer to build it myself.

The biggest part of your budget will be the graphics card, especially if you want an Nvidia GPU?

A very good AMD card is the Radeon 5700XT, and for Nvidia I personally would consider the RTX 2070 upwards, but they get expensive?.

I'll have a look into some options for you with the motherboard etc but have you any opinions on the graphics card?

I dont mind which graphics card I would need as I only want which is best for the processor.

Give us a ballpark budget that we can work with.

You can say budget isn't a problem, but anyone here could quite happily build a system for 5k or more given that statement.

Re: "good monitor". That's great and all but if you have a Gsync monitor then an AMD graphics card won't be able to do Freesync. And if it's 1080p 60Hz then don't go crazy on an expensive graphics card.
