Desktop Upgrade, Need Recommendations

[Warthundereza]

I want to upgrade my desktop so that it can run video games (ex. FPS) smoothly. I want to change the CPU, graphics card, and heat sink. I might also change the PSU if the current PSU cannot supply enough power for the new components. Can anyone give me recommendations?

I might change the CPU to AMD Ryzen 5 2600X 3.6GHz. What motherboard do you recommend for that CPU? And yes, I will change to Windows 10 OS.

for this 2600x you will need a x 470 https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-x470-chipset-ryzen-2,36919.html

Thanks!

For the 2600x currently only choice is X470, unless you can source a Ryzen 1 chip to perform an update on the B350/X370/A320 motherboard and then put in the chip.

If you get a new mobo and CPU, you also need new DDR4 RAM for the motherboard.

If you change so much, might as well get a better PSU. That one is not very good.

EDIT: Apologies, had not seen the other poster.

Increasing wattage does not mean it is a good PSU. B1 is poor line.

You need a bigger HDD, that will fill up quick.

If you are running Ryzen, you should pair 3000 Mhz of RAM with it. Ryzen runs very well with 3000Mhz RAM.

What about this: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15)

Does that work?

Also, I might try a SSHD. How about his one?

That is a good RAM kit.

I do not have much experience with an SSHD. I would still recommend to stick with an SSD and a HDD for less complications. IMO SSHD are a bit gimmicky as in they are not a great compromise.
