Hi Guys,

I currently been away from the PC scene for years and now I want to get back into it.

Well I have an Intel i7 Extreme 990x and Asus P6X58-E motherboard paired up with 4 x 4GB G-Skill sticks and a GTX580.

I am major cash strapped and I want to get something more modern but not sure I would get much if not anything for this lot. Is the 990x still any good in today's gaming world and can the X58 chipset handle a PCI M.2 SSD's? Thanks
 
I got an SSD from work that seems to decent-ish from an HP Prodesk.

The power supply i believe is an X-Power Pro GTX 850w and the I am thinking of throwing money at a cheapest GTX 1660 or an 5500XT is possible.
 
No it isnt overclocked, I try and keep away from such tweaks to keep energy consumption down. Would the CPU hold back an card in this price bracket £150-£200?
 
I am in a position to get rid of it all but not sure it will give me much back to get a decent CPU, Motherboard RAm and GPU and a decent experience
 
Cheers guys I think I am gunna sell the lot and see what I can get for it. Been looking all day on fleabay and marketplace and here for some decent upgrades so hopefully get enough I reckon.
 
After loking at the prices of an x570 its too expensive for. This 990x is running fine at the moment and all its needs a better SSD and something like a RX 590 or similar priced graphics card then I think I could get another year out of it for little gaming I guess. Save up for a new build?
