Hi good people!

I am little on a budget but I would like to buy some used CPU and GPU and upgrade my have a Lenovo Legion Tower PC (Y520T-25IKL) which now has:
intel b250
16gb ram (2400mhz, I think)
GeFroce GTX 1050 ti (4GB)
Intel i3 7100

For CPU I just heard that I need a non-K processor as they cannot be overclocked on my mobo. I am thinking about selling my old CPU and maybe leaving the cooler for the next one.
For GPU I was thinking like gtx 1060 or 1650 / 60 maybe? I also dont know if my mobo can handle those.

What do you suggest? I guess I would need to buy a new PSU too. Currently I have ''LiteOn model no: Ps-5281-02''. Its all on Chinese but it says 264W MAX.

I appreciate all the help I can get as my knowledge is limited when I read the comparisons on Google

I am also on a budget, so I was thinking maybe CPU and GPU till 350 euro, if possible (used ones).


I thank you all!
Have a good one!

Thank you! It means a new mobo too. Does it support m2 ssd?
About the CPU, whats the next better cpu that you can suggest?
 
Okey, then I will measure my motherboard and check if the dimensions are good. I was wondering something else too. Is it okey if I go with gtx 1060 or 1070 and i7 7700? Around 300 euros can be for used i7 and a new 1060, 350-400 with a 1070. What do you think? Is it a better combo than the one in the first answer?
