Question looking for a pc upgrade

[Mervynb]

Hello everyone, I'm looking to upgrade my cpu because i think that it doesnt work well with my gpu. I plan to upgrade my ram (16gb) and motherboard according to my cpu. my specs:
AMD A8 7650k
GTX 1050 2gb
Asrock FM2A58m-dg3+
4x2 ddr3 ram
500W PSU (idk the manufacturer)
500gb 5400rpm hdd

also another quick question should i get an ssd? i am not very good with this computer stuff. the main idea atleast is to keep the gtx 1050 for now.

any ideas?

budget?

i've got 300-400 euros to spend at this current time, but if it is a bit over this amount it should be ok

This sits comfortably in the 400€ budget.

I think your main problem is your 5400RPM hard drive. I'd probably start with a storage upgrade to a 500GB SSD like this one:

I'd test your system performance with a clean install on this new SSD and then determine if any other upgrades are necessary. If so, then I'd probably start looking at something like this:

Motherboard: MSI - B450M GAMING PLUS Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard (€77.99 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory (€77.90 @ Amazon Deutschland)

Of course, new, 3rd Generation Ryzen processors are coming in four to five weeks (July 7th) so you may want to consider holding out for those or seeing if that release affects the prices on the 2nd generation of Ryzen processors.

Alternately, you could look at an Intel build with something like the following:

CPU: Intel - Core i5-9400F 2.9 GHz 6-Core Processor (€151.90 @ Caseking)
Motherboard: Gigabyte - Z390 M GAMING Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (€129.99 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Memory: G.Skill - Aegis 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2666 Memory (€66.99 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Total: €348.88

But that, plus the SSD might stretch your budget too far.
