I have a 9590 but I want to upgrade

[ifowler65]

I was wondering what the best current day equivalent to the 9590 is because Im looking for a Ryzen cpu and I can list my part list down below but I need help, and Im soon getting a 1070 ti which is why I want to upgrade my cpu. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/v3py9W

The current equivalent of a 9590? Luckily, there isn't one.

In a spec, on paper sense, the 9590 is an 8 "core" (debatable), 8 thread chip.
Loosely, a Ryzen5 1400 would be somewhere in the same ballpark - with great improvements in IPC and power draw.

A Ryzen5 1600 or 2600 would be what I'd look to for a modern gaming system with a 1070TI (if you're sticking with AMD). 6c/12t.
Remember, you'll need a new AM4 motherboard & DDR4 (high speed, 3000MHz+) for compatibility with a new chip.

Looking at your current build (shows a 6300, not a 9590?), you're pretty much looking at a new build.
The CX430 isn't great, the MB/RAM won't be reusable.... you can only really keep the HDD and Case.

Sorry I meant to put this list down https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YGPbdX

Also youre saying I would need new mobo/ram/cpu(obv)/ and what else?

Ah, that makes more sense.

If you want to reuse the 212Evo (I wouldn't, as it's not a particularly good performer), you'll probably need to source an AM4 bracket from CM.

Otherwise, other than CPU/MB/RAM, everything else there should be reusable.

Remember to link your OS install to a MS account, so you can hopefully transfer it to a new build.
No guarantees though, you may also need a new license.

Thank you very much, as Im not working I have to take time to get the rest of the parts and slowly upgrade

Not sure whether you intend to buy a component one at a time, but I'd highly recommend you save the money first - then purchase CPU/MB/RAM in one go.

You cannot use any of the 3 new components without the other 2, so have no way to test.
Much faster returning via the retailer if you have an issue, opposed to sitting for a couple of months & finding out there's an issue. While RMA's with the manufacturer are typically easy enough, they are more time consuming that a return/replacement via a retailer within X number of days.
