My daughter wonts a pc and I found a old CPU mobo specs off the old machine is
i5 6600k
gtx970
gigabyte ga z170mx-gameing 5
crosiair cx 600 psu

She plays overwatch 2, fornite /roadblocks ,GTA5/ sims 4/FIFA / resident evil vilage / over watch few other games
was thinking off upgrading mine to give to her

My setup is Ryzen 3600
16 B450-A PRO MAX
16 ram ddr4. 2x 8gb
2070

I had a thought of getting myself a new Ryzen 7 5800X3D / 5800x and new mobo, a 3070/3080 and but the 2070 in her pc or is i5 6600k still going forward

I'm happy to buy 2nd hand parts where I can

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

I'm slightly confused.
i5 6600k
gtx970
gigabyte ga z170mx-gameing 5
corsair cx 600 psu
^ are these the specs to your daughter's current system? If so, how old is the PSU in the build? What ram is her system on, what cooler is the platform on to cool the processor and what case is she working with? Or are they the specs to a second hand system you've found?

On second thoughts, please list the specs to the build(s) like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
for both you and your daughter's builds, being as specific as possible.

I would advise against buying a second hand GPU since they will most definitely would have been used for mining.

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B450-A-PRO-MAX/ <--- if this is the board I don't believe it will support any cpu past a Ryzen 3rd gen.

This cpu would be a decent match with a B550 board.
