[SOLVED] System upgrade advice

[Dylo4321]

Looking for new mobo, cpu, ram as last cpu and mobo died + ram is ddr3 so I want ddr4, was looking at 16gb ram Corsair vengeance lpm 16gb, and ryzen 2600(people recommend i3 8100 but not sure )and msi x470gplus I have a 1050ti but want to leave some room to upgrade that gpu in future thanks for advice or better deals let me know cheers and thanks in advance

The 2600 is a great pick but I'd change the motherboard to a good quality B450 as it will perform just as good as the X470 but will be cheaper. For memory make sure it's 3000 or 3200 in dual channel (2x8gb) as Ryzen performs much better with it over 2133 (like a 20 FPS difference). The 1050 ti is ok however for the same price you can get the RX 570 4gb which outperforms the 1050 ti in most games.

What's your overall spending budget? I agree that the 2600 is an excellent CPU, I have one. Between it and the i3-8100 you can't go wrong with either.

I already have the 1050 ti, I’ll be spending around 400-450 euro on the upgrades

No!!! The Corsair VS series are terrible, if on a budget get the CX/CXM versions but remember, your PSU is the heart of the system. If you get something cheap there's a chance it will ruin your other parts or even catch on fire.

That would be fine but if possible I'd get a 3200mhz kit.

Went with b450 m k, ryzen 5 2600 corsair cx550 and this ram set https://m.newegg.com/global/ie-en/product/20-231-941?ignorebbr=1should be perfect now the wait has begun

Link didn't work but the 2600 is a excellent CPU for the price.
