Hey! My current system's CPU is running up on 7 years old and I'm looking to upgrade. Here's my current build:
PCPartPicker Part List
CPU: Intel - Core i5-3550 3.3 GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: MSI - Z77A-G43 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill - Value Series 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3-1333 Memory
Storage: SanDisk - SSD PLUS 240 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage: Seagate - Barracuda 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: EVGA - GeForce GTX 1080 8 GB SC2 Gaming iCX Video Card
Case: NZXT - S340 ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair - Builder 600 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Operating System: Microsoft - Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit
So I'd definitely need to upgrade the CPU, MOBO, and RAM all at once which I'm hoping would result in a decent boost. I'm also looking to spend no more than $500 roughly.
My main focus would be 1080p 144hz gaming. I've been looking at the i5-9600k but I'm not quite sure.
Any help or somewhere to start would be great! Thanks!
