So I was thinking about upgrading my pc!
These are my current specifications:
CPU: Intel Core i5-7400
GPU: Strix Radeon RX 570 4GB
RAM: DDR4 2x8GB 2666MHz HyperX Fury KIN (Dual Channel)
SSD: Transcend 220S 120GB 2.5"
HDD: Toshiba 3tb
Case: MS Dragon
Motherboard: STRIX B250G GAMING
The budget is about 950€ but i can strech it to 1000€ if necessary and worth it.
I know that i will probably be needing a new case because this is a small case for the bigger gpus and i will be needing a new cooler which is bigger because im now using a stock one, and a new PSU.
So the problem is i don't know what to take...
Two of my first priorities is the gpu and the cpu, For me the case really doesnt matter it just needs to be big enough to fit the gpu. Cooler and PSU does not really matter too.
I was looking at i5 9600k and rtx 2060 super.
I don't even know if it is possible with this budget...
I apprecheate all the help!
EDIT: i forgot to say that i wanted to reuse the ssd,ram, hdd and motherboard if it is possible

Disregard the error message, the MSI Max boards support 3rd gen Ryzens. I would also recommend the 3600 over the 9600K due to the extra threads and upgrade path. You'll want to do a clean install of Windows 10 to avoid conflicting motherboard drivers and poor performance.
