Upgrade or new?

[Tetras]

1 x B Grade PowerColor Radeon RX 9060 XT Reaper 16GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: BG-GRA-PWC-05257) = £329.99

Unless you're making an offer, don't pay that for a b-grade one.

Am I better off just going for something new then?

This seems to fit tick all the boxes...

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x OcUK Gaming Pyrite - Ryzen 5700X3D - Radeon RX 9060XT Pre-Built Gaming PC (SKU: FS-PB13-EP) = £1,099.99

Total: £1,099.99 (includes delivery: £0.00)​

No point buying a new AM4 PC when you already have the kit!

Budgetwise... I was prepared to start with a whole new rig, where I'd usually spend £1200-1500.

Here's a bottom-end of budget build.

Can't go wrong with these parts. If it was me spending good money on a new build in 2025, I'd get an 8 core CPU (e.g. 7700 or 7800X3D or 9800X3D) and a 16GB GPU (e.g. Radeon RX 9070).

If going new, I'd look at trying self build, but that should keep under the £1500 limit if you ask ocuk to build it for you...if self build, you could swap the cpu for an x3d cpu, and maybe go for a 9070xt or 5070ti..even if you don't the self build will leave you room for maybe a 1440p gaming monitor rather than 1080p (if i'm reading that right)
a 9600x will still perform as a 5800x3d will

of course with a b450 mobo, a 5700x3d is an option, but seeing as you want new psu, gpu, cpu and ddr4 ram which now costs the same as ddr5, the only real diff now is the mobo cost, so selling your existing rig can offset that to an extent
