500$ Upgrade for PC

[vasiliucezaradrian]

Hello ,can you tell me what components should I get for my pc.My budget is 500$ and I don't need the GPU ,Case,hdd,ssd or PSU because I already got new ones.I would like a good gaming processor to pair with my Gigabyte RX580 8Gb and I would also want 32 Gb of ram and a mobo.
Thanks

Why would you want 32GB of RAM? For gaming, 16GB would be enough. Also, your budget is too small to fit good CPU and 32GB of RAM in.

But for around 500 bucks, you can go with these:

Or if you want latest tech then these:

CPU Cooler: ARCTIC - Freezer 33 CPU Cooler ($29.97 @ Newegg Business)

i5-8600K is 2nd best CPU for gaming while i5-9600K is the best CPU for gaming. Both CPUs also offer CPU OC due to the Z-series MoBo. Since K-series CPUs doesn't come with CPU cooler, i added one of the best mid-sized CPU air cooler into the list (150mm tall), which has semi-passive fan (which means 0 dB(A) on low CPU loads since fan won't turn). With that CPU cooler, you can put mid-level OC on the CPU just fine. For high-level OC, Freezer 33 may not be enough (depending on how lucky you'll get with silicone lottery regarding CPUs).

But if 32GB of RAM is must have, then best you're looking at would be:

Motherboard: MSI - B360M PRO-VDH Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($69.99 @ Amazon)
Memory: Team - Vulcan 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($230.98 @ Newegg)
Total: $494.96

CPU cooler is included with CPU and there's no CPU OC feature as well.

The second option seems great.I know I don't need 32 gb of ram but I wanted to see how much I can get for my money.I'm going to order the i5 9600k and the rest of the package when I find a good deal for all of them.Thank you so much for helping me find a good setup to pair with the rest of my components , have a good day!
