Hello! I was hoping I could get some help with a more up-to-date build of my gaming PC, which is finally starting to show its age.
I definitely need some help narrowing down the processor/GPU/motherboard combination and tips on where to look for purchasing, as I've seen some wild price discrepancies when I was researching certain parts.
Thank you in advance!
Budget: $1,000 to $1,500

Thank you in advance!
Budget: $1,000 to $1,500
Needs:
- Gaming, no VR or 4k but I do want to run more taxing, current gen games on higher detail settings.
- Some work in Adobe
- Occasional 3D modeling for 3D printing programs
- Eventually want to clone my OS to a 500 GB M.2 NVME SSD but leaving it out for price cutting
- Better use of Discord + multiple other concurrent programs. I'm currently hitting memory cap issues.
- Any parts that you would swap? Outside of the case I'm not committed to any part currently listed, I just picked parts that worked in my budget. Bundles are definitely welcome, and I've no particular preference to AMD/Intel or AMD/Nvidia.
- Any advice on where to find parts for sale? The market has entirely changed since I last delved into it.
- Is my old PSU good enough for what I have planned? Anything else from my old build you might carry over (outside of the HDD/SSD)?
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor ($300)
- Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard ($379-410)
- Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory ($99)
- Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6 GB TUF GAMING OC Video Card ($430) (This is definitely going to change, $450 is just a cap for spending.)
- Case: Fractal Design Define 7 ATX Mid Tower Case ($150)
- Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 750 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply (0$, carried over from older build)
