Just want to make something that will last awhile, previous CPU is from 2012, so I'd say that one lasted well long enough. I finally ran into a game I wanted to play that I couldn't, (Jedi Fallen Order), and had told myself that when that happened it would be time to upgrade.
Here is the list, note that some things are not being bought, I just put them in there to make sure they were compatible: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7nHTRk
So the new things I am buying are the Ryzen 5 CPU, the motherboard, the ram, and the case.
For comparison, the old parts vs the new ones:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 vs AMD FX-4100
MSI x570 Gaming Edge vs ASRock Extreme3 930
Some other options I'm looking at is getting the 3600x, ($30 more), not sure if that's worth it.
And/or getting the b450 Tomahawk motherboard, (if i can ever find it in stock).
