Question Do these intended upgrades look decent ?

[babi1987]

Hi,
My current setup comprises of an HP 280G2 MT, customized with the following components:

CPU: i5 6500
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1650
RAM: 2 x 8GB
Boot drive: 256GB SSD
Data drive: 500GB HDD
PSU: Antec VP 500P

I am thinking of upgrading the setup to something like this - ASUS , with the additions of an RX 5600 XT, an extra complement of 8GB RAM and a good PSU.

Please share your valuable opinions.

That new system, with your proposed upgrades, would be a good entry-level gaming PC that could keep up with the latest games. RAM compatibility may be an issue if you mix and match RAM modules. Using a kit is the best way to avoid RAM incompatibility.

Seems like you could build a system at a lower cost than buying that one and replacing + upgrading components. Also, consider the price/performance of upgrading your i5-6500 to an i7-6700K. I'm not sure the used market cost in your area.
