[SOLVED] Should I upgrade my PSU or just get a new system??

[Grizz5507]

I am thinking of upgrading my PC but I am running into some problems. I want to upgrade my CPU and GPU, but my PSU is too weak for a Ryzen 3600 and an RTX 2070.

Should I upgrade my PSU or just get a new system?

Current Specs:
CPU: i5 7400
GPU: GTX 1060 3gb
RAM: 16 gb DDR4
Motherboard: ms-b9071
Powersupply: 350W 80 Plus Bronze

Upgrading just PSU is not going to do anything for performance If you upgrade to what you propose, you will need better PSU anyway.

I know that I need to upgrade my PSU but is it worth it or should I just build a new system?

Build a new one as you proposed, it will be quite a jump in performance. You need new MB+CPU+PSU and probably faster RAM .

Depends on your budget and what you want really, PSU aside that system could go another few years as long as you don't mind games on low/med settings etc, but as stated above 3600/2070 would represent a significant improvement in performance.

Considering going to a Ryzen means a new motherboard and CPU, that is pretty much a new system.

I would get a better power supply and video card and leave the rest alone.
