[SOLVED] Planning to Upgrade GPU,CPU and MOBO. [NEED ADVICE]

[Junix2]

Hi, I got my 2nd PC way back 2015 and never upgraded it since except for the ram. Now that I'm done with college and started to earn my own money I wanted to upgrade some stuff for my work and gaming.
I did research online about some stuff but I just wanted to make sure and ask advice from experts here. I don't do overclocks by the way I don't have knowledge about that stuff XD .

This is my current Setup:

PROCESSOR: i5 4460 3.2GHZ
MOTHERBOARD: GIGABYTE B85M-HD3
VIDEOCARD: PALIT 2GB GTX750TI STORMX OCDUAL
MEMORY: 2x 8GB RAM DDR3
HDD: SEAGATE 7200RPM SATA
CASING: ATX CASING WITH RAVE AEROCOOL 500WATTS PSU
MONITOR: 1680x1050 monitor hpw2007

This is what I plan upgrading to:

PROCESSOR: i5 8600k or depends if you have other suggestions that is a same price CPU or a little higher
VIDEOCARD: RTX MSI 2060 VENTUS
MOTHERBOARD: ASrock Z370 Pro4 /MSI MSI Z370 PC Pro or depends if you have other suggestions
CASING: [NO IDEA I DEFINITELY NEED ADVICE]
MOTHERBOARD: 1080p 144hz/60hz

My upgrade order:

1st. GPU
2nd. CPU or CPU + MOBO if not compatible with the old mobo
3rd. Casing + MOBO
4th. Monitor

Now the real question is the order of my upgrades compatible with the old stuff? If not then what should I do?

1. What is the make/model of your power supply?
That is what will gate your possible graphics card upgrades.
Here is a handy chart:
http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm
You will mostly get fair value at every price point.
I like the nvidia cards better than the amd cards, mainly because of lower power at similar performance levels.
The mid/upper range of the market is starting to get very competitive.
Look at the newly announced GTX1660 cards.

2. Here is a list of supported processors for your motherboard:
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-B85M-HD3-rev-1x#support-cpu
The strongest will be a 4tn gen i7-4790K. It sells for about $225 on ebay.
You can not overclock but it will still be stronger.
Considering that a current 9th gen i5-9600K sells for not much more, I think I would buy new gen.
You will want a Z390 motherboard.
You need not overclock, but in time you may want to.
The K processors are designed to be overclocked.
Actually, overclock is a misnomer. It is done simply by raising the multiplier in the bios from stock to a higher number.

3. You will need ddr4 ram. 2 x 8gb is plenty for a gamer.
Speed is not very important, 3000 speed is about right.

4. Cases are a personal thing.
If you want a new one, buy one you love.
It will be with you for a long time.
My criteria for a case:
a) It must hold my motherboard and parts. duh! A m-ATX motherboard will fit an ATX case, but not the reverse.
b) It must have adequate airflow. two front 120/140mm intakes at least with a washable filter.
c) 160mm available for a good air cooler. In a good case there is no need for liquid cooling.
air is cheaper, quieter, more reliable, cools equally well, simpler to install and...
it will not leak.

5. I will never again build without a ssd for the "C" drive. It makes everything you do much quicker.
120gb is minimum, it will hold the os and a handful of games.
But, many things default to the "C" drive.
When a SSD nears full, it will lose performance and endurance.
240gb is the recommended minimum.

If you can go 240gb, or 500gb you may never need a hard drive.

You can defer on the hard drive unless you need to store large files such as video's.
It is easy to add a hard drive later.

Samsung EVO is a good choice for performance and reliability.

6. Buy the best monitor you can find. Monitors do not get obsolete quickly.
I would look for a 35" wide monitor with 1440p or 4k resolution.
Prefer a IPS 178/178 panel for image quality. faster tn is ok if you play fast action shooters.

Hello, Thanks for the reply. I just checked my PSU and it says RAVE AEROCOOL 500w. It looks like I have to buy CPU + MOBO together then.. I searched online and it says it will bottleneck on i5-4460 but is 500w fine for rtx 2060? I'm just currently planning slowing upgrading the parts every month.

Does Z370 works too? I can't afford that Z390 it's worth almost 600$ here for a motherboard

I think you are OK; the psu comes with a 6+2 connector which is sufficient for a RTX2060.
I do not know about the quality of your psu.

Z370 will work also. Seems like a crazy price for any motherboard.
Just check the specs of your prospective motherboard for supported processors.
