Question Upgrading CPU & GPU, but don't know if I should change anything else

[hixtle]

Hello, I beg you to go easy on me.

I am planning to upgrade my CPU & GPU to the following:

Ryzen 5 3600
GTX 1660 Ti

I don't know if I should change my other components (like the Motherboard or anything) to something else in order to handle the CPU & GPU. (List of current specs given further below)

If I SHOULD, after all, change some other components in order to flawlessly run the new CPU & GPU, then please let me know what I should get. I'm a bit more on a budget on everything else, since the CPU and GPU are the main focus.


My specs:

Gigabyte motherboard, model P67-DS3-B3
12 GB RAM
NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti
Intel Core I5-2500K

(Can give more system information)

Upgrading the processor will require also a new motherboard and memory.

 

[JohnBonhamsGhost]

your power supply is a big factor here.
include make & model + time in use.

Intel Core i5-10400F Review - Six Cores with HT for Under $200

Intel's new Core i5-10400F offers a large performance jump over the previous generation Core i5-9400F because of its six-core/twelve-thread design. In this Core i5-10400F review we also test the feasibility of overclocking through BCLK, or by relaxing the PL1 and PL2 Turbo Limits.
