Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my gaming PC from this build:
PCPartPicker Link (actually still performs surprisingly well, just struggles with the likes of pubg at 1080p, although is still playable)
Looking at purchasing a
Ryzen 5 2600x
MSI B450 GAMING PLUS Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LPX (2x 8GB) 3000MHz DDR4
From this Ebay bundle
and a Palit GeForce RTX 2060 6GB StormX Boost Graphics Card.

Just wondering which parts from my previous PC you would recommend reusing (SSD, PSU etc.) and which you would recommend getting rid of.
Also I was hoping for advice on which MOBO to pick since all of the Ebay bundles with varying Mobos seem the same to me but are priced fairly differently.
 
Solution
Its not a bad deal but I would get a Ryzen 7 with 8 cores and with a decent mobo and memory for less:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Type|Item|Price
:----|:----|:----
CPU | AMD - Ryzen 7 1700 3 GHz 8-Core Processor | £148.38 @ Aria PC
Motherboard | ASRock - B450M PRO4 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard | £72.48 @ Amazon UK
Memory | Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory | £89.99 @ CCL Computers
| Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts |
| Total | £310.85

Yea, everything looks fine, good SSD and PSU easily can run with this.
