Hi guys, so currently I have:
rx 460 4gb
2x4 8GB RAM u/3000mhz DDR4
ASRock AB350M socket AM4 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06WW9S5BY/?coliid=I3FDSPCL2TUDNL&colid=6J5USOQHOENF&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
Corsair 650 Watts VS650 gaming power supply.
So i've been wanting to get back into pc gaming and i understand that my pc is not great by any means. I have been told in the past that if i want anything more than the current build I have now, to upgrade my PSU as it is really not good and unreliable.
I have been looking at this PSU:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CP-9020091-UK-Certified-Thermally-Controlled/dp/B015PWMT8S
and was wondering if it is any good (if you could recommend it and whether it will be enough for the build i am about to list.
I have also been looking at either the ryzen 5 1600af or the 2600. I have heard they are basically identical, however, im not sure that this is the correct cpu, as i have been told you can get it for around £100?

As for graphics card, i am looking at the rx 580 8gb: specifically this one:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06Y66K3XD/?coliid=IEEPULZHI0YZB&colid=6J5USOQHOENF&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
some of the main questions i have are:
Is the motherboard that i have now fine for the parts i want to add?
I am going to get 2 8gb ram cards to make it 16gb, but im not sure if i have the right slots for the parts, and whether i could even run a ryzen 5 2600?
I currently have a budget of around £500 too
Any help would be much appreciated
