PC upgrade advice

[Mooch0809]

Hi,
I’ve had a pc for about 5 years but only recently thought about upgrading it. I want to get a new CPU and GPU, which I’m looking at the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and the Nvidia GTX 1660 super. However, as my knowledge is lacking I’m not sure whether my current motherboard would be compatible with an AMD processor as I currently have an Intel i5-6400 or if I have enough power supply. Any help would be very appreciated!

Hi

You will need a new motherboard to go with the 3600, can you list your system spec please.

My current specs are
Intel i5-6400 @ 2.7GHz
Nividia GTX 960
Gigabyte H110M-H_CF motherboard
8GB of RAM

10400f would be a good option do you have a ssd drive as you want windows and games on the fastest drives ?
Wi-Fi needed ?

Or would you prefer amd 3600.

I have a HDD with windows 10 pro and don't need WIFI. The only reason I am saying the amd 3600 is that from what I have read online and the reviews i have seen, the amd 3600 and gtx 1660 are the best mid range combination for gaming
