Thinking of upgrading GPU / Entire pc.

[andrewrashe]

I'm upgrading mostly my entire build.

Current specs:
CPU: AMD FX-6300
Mobo: MSI 970A-G443 PLUS
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 4x4 ddr3
PSU: Evga 450 watt bronze 80 Plus
HDD: 2TB WD Blue WD20EZRZ SATA 3.5
SSD: PATRIOT BLAST 120GB SATA3 2.5

GPU: AMD Radeon R7 370 2GB


What I'm planning to update to:
CPU: Amd Ryzen 5 2600
Mobo: MSI x470 g-plus
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 8x2 ddr4
PSU: Corsair vs650

GPU: Nvidia 1060 6gb

The question here is, I wanted to use my R7 370 as a second GPU for a second monitor and use the 1060 as the main monitor for games?

Would I be better off just using the 1060 for the two monitors or keeping the R7 370 to run the other monitor?

I am also wondering should I go for the 4x4 ddr4 and a GTX 1070 (If I can afford it )
I know I could get the 8x2 ddr4 and upgrade later if needs be.
I might add a third monitor too, Probably not 2K or 4K. Not sure if I'll need a better CPU to push it though.
If I do get the GTX 1070 will I need a stronger PSU?

Some games I will be running will be:
CS:GO, Rainbow six, Gta V, Dying light, Destiny 2.

Any help is appreciated here

-I'm new to the forums too. Thanks guys.

I don't see the need for second GPU at all. If you run your games on one monitor only the other one is not going to make any impact on performance providing you don't use second monitor for anything tasking graphics.
As for memory, you are not going to need more than 16GB for gaming any soon so better invest in faster 2x 8GB as Ryzen likes faster RAM. With 4x4GB speed would be restricted to about 2666MHz unles you buy some really expensive RAM.

I think it's worth mentioning, the Corsair VS series is not a good option for a gaming system. It's a lower quality unit meant for lower-power systems. The new CX (2017) series would be okay.

So the Ryzen 5 2600 will be ok seeing as I get a Corsair Vengeance 750M 80 Plus and HyperX Fury ddr4 2x8 2666 Mhz?
Or should I still get the corsair vengeance LPX ddr4 2x8 3000Mhz? Or should I go for a different brand?
Also I'm thinking of getting an Antec Mercury 360 to be mounted in the top of my NZXT H440.
Do AIO coolers use much power?

Thanks again.

I think you mean Corsair CX750M power supply? Get 2x8GB 3000MHz RAM, the LPX is good memory. AiO's shouldn't use a lot of power, 750W is more than enough, you could go with a 550W if you're just using a GTX 1060, probably even a 450W. But of course higher wattage means room for future upgrades.

Thanks guys! I'm going to sell my current build and then get better parts for the Ryzen build. I'm going to get the 750 watt incase I do upgrade in the future. I appreciate it alot.
