Hi ! I wanna build a new PC for the first time but the only components that I need to buy/upgrade are just the mobo and cpu
I currently have an Asus Z170-A with Intel Core i5 6402P 2.8GHz, 4c, 4t
here is my full, current build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mD72Hz
I want to upgrade to ASUS TUF Gaming B550-Plus mobo and Ryzen 5 5600x, I think they should be compatible with the rest of my build.. but is there something really important I need to keep in mind ? do I really need a custom CPU cooler ?
my budget for the 2 components is a total of $500, I live in a different country with a different currency
also, would you suggest anything better or cheaper ?
reasons for upgrading: I think the CPU dragged me down a lot of times when gaming ( Shadow of the Tomb Raider, The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn, Far Cry 5, CoD 4 Remastered ) and sometimes I have more tasks/apps open and it runs a bit slowly obv, might do streaming/video editing in the future
sry for long post.. also noob at PC building
