[SOLVED] Thinking of upgrading my pc and needed help with motherboard and others.

[eridian00]

I was wanting to upgrade my pc and needed to know some things. I have 16gb of ram, a 2tb hard drive, and a gtx 1060 gpu i want to take from this one and use for the new one. So i need to find a new motherboard, cpu and wanted to get a ssd to go along with my 2tb drive. But i have no clue where to start or anything. I built this one by buying the motherboard, ram, and cpu in a bundle so i didn't need to worry about it being compatible, but now i have no idea what to look for in order to upgrade, and even less if i want to add a ssd to it and also use my normal drive as well.

What are your current parts?
What do you use this for?
What is the overall budget?

My current motherboard is MSI gaming 970 am3+ and sb950 sata 6gb usb 3.0
And the cpu is amd fx-8350 4ghz.
I use it for gaming. And i would prefer it to be under 300. Only thing i want to replace is the motherboard and cpu and maybe add a ssd if i can.

From that existing platform, you'd need to move into a Ryzen or near current gen Intel.
Which means also new DDR4 RAM.

What GPU is in there?
What specific power supply?

My power supply is a corsair 750 watt and my gpu is a asus dual gtx 1060
