Question Should I upgrade my PC, or should I buy a new one?

[Wassim24]

My current pc has the following specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: GTX 1650 KFA2 EX(1-Klick OC) 4 GB DDR5 PCIe3.0
Case: Aerocool QS-240
Power supply: 600 Watt Kolink Core 80+
Mainboard: Gigabyte A320M-S2H V2 B350 M-ATX
RAM 16 GB: 2x 8 GB DDR4 3000 Crucial
SSD: 240 GB SSD Kingston A400
My idea was to buy a new graphicscard, RX 6650 XT. Is it worth the upgrade, or should I instead sell the PC and buy a new one? My budget for a new Pc would be around 800–900 euros.

Adding a 6650XT will give a few more years on this computer, assuming you aren't demanding a lot from it.

Otherwise you could likely find a cheapish B550 board and a Ryzen 5600X which could another few years on top of that.

EDIT: The combo I picked is about €300, +/- €30, but the actual price may vary based on where you actually live.

What is the primary use for your next computer? How many of your existing components would you like to keep (if any)? The answer will help decide if you should spend more on a graphics card or the CPU.

The 5600X is an excellent mid-range CPU if you decide to stick with AMD.

The motherboard is ultra cheap, the case is ultra cheap, the SSD is the cheapest variant with a low capacity, the PSU is presumably the cheapest possible. These are the characteristics of a prebuilt PC.

It's a good thing the PSU does not explode before you consider upgrading.

Buy a new PC.
Pick the parts and build the PC yourself.

It's the same thing. By the time you replace all the parts to bring the pc upto lasting the next 5 years±, you built a new pc in an old case.

The A320 won't run a 5x series cpu, the existing gpu isn't worth pairing with a 5600x or better cpu, the psu isn't that bad, but it is uber cheaply built so I'd question it's reliability beyond the warranty period, you aren't doing a 5600x any favors with 3000MHz ram, should be 3600/16 and the Aerocool case is anything but cool, it's cheap junk with lousy airflow.

Be prepared to get lowballed on the price by anyone with half a lick of computer savvy,

When it comes to selling a PC of that vintage, I'd be inclined to sell the parts separately on eBay or a similar web site. By splitting up the parts, people can buy exactly what they need and nothing more. Check other auctions on eBay, etc., before setting a selling price for your bits.

As Karadjgne says, anyone who knows about PCs will haggle hard over the price. If you set the starting price too high on eBay, nobody will bid. If you set the starting price at 99c to save listing fees, someone might get the computer for $20 if very few people bid.

Forget how much you paid for the old PC, you'll only recoup a tiny fraction of the original price if you bought new.

You might even decide to keep the old PC as a backup.

800 to 900 Euros will buy a fairly decent rig, whatever you choose. Good luck with the new build.
