Upgrade my PC. £1000 budget

spengos · 11 Oct 2020 at 18:07

Here's my current system. I currently game at 1080p but will be getting a 1440p monitor and want a PC that will last me a good 5 years or so. Is there anything I can salvage from my current system below or is it going to be a full replace? At the very least I will keep the case, but maybe I can keep the motherboard and PSU too to save some money??

AMD Ryzen 5 Six Core 2600 3.90GHz (Socket AM4) Processor
Team Group Vulcan T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit
Gigabyte UD Pro 512GB SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps Toshiba 3D NAND Solid State Drive
Zalman S2 Midi Tower Case
Sapphire Radeon RX VEGA 56 Pulse 8GB HBM2 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Bitfenix Formula Series 650W 80 Plus Gold Power Supply
MSI B450-A PRO (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard

Cheers!

It's still a decent spec PC, might be worth trying on your new monitor to see how you get on.

might want to see how AMD fair with RX6*** Reveal followed by RTX 3070 launch the next day.. though if your going GPU then need to be on the trigger quickly .

Ryzen 5*** wouldnt be able to run on your board till next year but as above, move to 1440p and more demand is placed on the GPU then CPU
