Hi guys!
I am new to this but eager to learn.
I bought a cheap end gaming pc off a guy and I'm wanting to upgrade soon. I have upgraded to a 1080p 144hz, 1ms refresh HP moniter.
I dont have a price range, but I'm scared just to go buying stuff without another opinion. I'm looking into Ryzen CPU with a Raedon GPU. And I know my mother board will have to go, and that's where I get a little confused. Psu will have to go too.
I'm looking middle of the road, nothing hardcore. I stream a lot so I need it to be able to handle that plus a decent size game.
I appreciate any help or knowledge you all can pass on. Thanks so much.

The only parts I'd reuse from that system is the HDD, OS (if tied to a MS account) & maybe case.

Something like this would be a substantial improvement, just make sure you backup your files and do a clean install of Windows.

Thank you! Are there any other GPU's you would reccomend? Also, I'm getting from a friend a corsair tx650 psu, would that work?
