New build on Intel

Thought I'd buy a new build. My current build is a Ryzen 5 2600, 4x4GB 2400mhz ram, RX570 8GB XFX and a B350 Gigabyte board, Aerocool 500w PSU. 128GB SSD and 2TB storage. Going to leave in the SSD and put in a 500GB spinner and keep the 2TB for new build.

Thinking of selling that, and getting this.

Obviously I am going to need a new GPU. Decent upgrade or not?

If you're doing it for games then I'd just upgrade the GPU, there's still power left on the table with your CPU.

Pretty much a sidegrade, I wouldn't bother with that CPU coming from a 2600.

Upgrade your PSU to something decent, SSD, and if you want to game your GPU.

Tiny NVME... poor PSU... not a great case for airflow and very compact... Then that CPU is barely an upgrade on a 2600 too!
