Hello everyone.

I've been planning on updating some of the components on my gaming rig.

This is my current setup:

CPU - AMD - FX-6300
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO
Motherboard - Asus - M5A78L-M PLUS/USB3 Micro ATX AM3+
Memory - Kingston - 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1333
Storage - Crucial - MX300 275GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage - Toshiba - 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card - PowerColor - Radeon R9 380 4GB PCS+
Power Supply - Cooler Master B600 v2
Case - NZXT - S340 Elite
Operating System - Microsoft - Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit
Monitor - Samsung - S22D300NY 21.5" 1920x1080 60Hz Monitor

These are the components i was planning to buy now:

-CPU: i5 8600k

-MBO: Z370 Aorus Ultra Gaming (could use some advice on this one, is it a good pick or not...?)

-RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB 3000Mhz


What kind of performance can i expect from this cpu/gpu combo?

Am i going to have a lot of bottleneck issues because of my old graphics card? I'm also planning on buying a new one, but i'm hoping prices will drop a bit in the next few months.

Do i also need to upgrade my PSU?

Thanks guys.

Those new parts will, certainly release some extra performance, but, as you have correctly guessed, the R9 380 is now going the become the restriction.
The good news is that at 1080 rez it'll be able to run even current games much better, with a little careful trimming of settings ( particularly AA-those older AMD cards HATE any AA, so TOP TIP: Keep it as low as possible) maintaining 40FPS or beyond is a more than reasonable expectation.
