That is a dead platform unfortunately. The only parts i would salvage from those are the storage and the GPU.

Or it might just be better to sell the PC as a whole n build a new one.

Could you give us more info?

Total amount for the upgrade -

Location or website you use to see parts -

Monitor resolution and frame rate -

The games you play or want to play -

I was hoping to spend $300-$400

Using PC part finder. Unsure if there is something better.

24” 1080p 1ms 75 Hz

Really just csgo/web surfing, play other titles on console.

Did have some items in mind for an upgrade if you had any advice. Reusing the 1650. upgrade to a Asrock 6600 8gb in the future.

Amd 5 5500 6-core 12-thread
B450m-a ll amd am4
Team group Mp33 512gb
Thermaltake 600w 80+ gold
Silicon 18gb ddr4 3200mhz
Diypc f2
 
I would suggest this: better case and PSU
