So currently I want to move my current PC to a Mini-ITX Case because I'm tired of shipping my Mid-size tower back and forth between college and home. So I am defintely going to buy a Mini-ITX Case and motherboard. I need help in determining if I should upgrade the rest of my parts, or if I can make do with my current parts. I am only interested in 60 fps 1080p gaming at 60 Hz.
current parts
My question is, do I need to upgrade my rig for 60 fps 1080p? If I were to upgrade, I would consider getting either a ryzen 5 or ryzen 3 and rx 580/590, and 16gb ddr4, however I'm unsure if this would provide that big of a performance boost over my current configuration.
Also Since I mispackaged my i5 processor this time in shipping (wrapped in a plastic ziplock bag and bubble wrap, which I only found out was bad after the fact) I think I might've ruined my processor so I'll probably need to upgrade to a new one. So I was thinking about getting a ryzen 3 or ryzen 5, or just buying an old proccessor off ebay that works with ddr3. Let me know your thoughts on this. I really don't want to spend too much money as I'm a broke college student, but really enjoy playing games on my PC.
