Upgrading, wondering what direction to go...

[brandonmills9193]

With a budget of about 600 in mind I'm debating building a new rig completely around a Ryzen 2200g and trying to sell the old rig....

Or upgrading my current dinosaur, which is as follows...

CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-core Processor
CPU Cooler: Enermax ETS-T40-BK 76.0 CFM CPU COOLER
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P ATX AM3+ Motherboard
GPU: Zotac GeForce GTX 760 2GB Video card
Memory: G.Skill Sniper Series 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Case: Corsair Vengence C70 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: EVGA 600B 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATC Power Supply
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24F1st DVD CD Writer

Need honest opinions, i know Much of the old Dino is outdated and useless, so it wont hurt me if you say it outright. Just looking to enjoy my gaming a bit more, while not spending too much to start...

Much Love!

Is the budget $600 USD or any other currency? If so, what market / country?

If you were trying to sell that system how much do you expect to get out of it? Because I'm thinking of recycling some components from that and moving it into the new system.

Reuse case, PSU, HDD

Next upgrade you will want an SSD and a new PSU

I put it up for 400, but I'm open to cycling ideas if it makes me a good build for cheaper

Here is my Ryzen suggestion recycling the Case, PSU, CPU Cooler (maybe), HDD as extra storage drive.

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4GHz 6-Core Processor ($165.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: ASRock - B450M-HDV Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard ($49.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($93.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Kingston - A400 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($39.99 @ Amazon)
Video Card: Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB D5 6G Video Card ($249.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $599.95

But if you can sell your current system for $400 then build the computer from $1k budget would be even better. While we could certainly recycle the case, psu, cpu cooler, HDD. That only accounts for $100~150 worth of components. The other components would be harder to sell by piece instead of altogether for $400.

Alright ill try and see if I can sell this guy, if not I may just go with your upgrade. Would you say that a ryzen 3 wouldn't give me anything more than I currently have ? Also, if I did the upgrade instead of selling it, would I notice a large difference from my current dino?

The Ryzen 3 is definitely better over FX not only because it's rated 35% higher but it's also based on a newer chip architecture but then you would lose the multi core advantage you had with the FX. So it'll balance by getting Ryzen 5 2600. You'll also notice significantly higher performance improvement over you're older system.

By having around $1k in budget and if you want a Ryzen system this is what I would suggest:

Memory: 16GB is ideal for Ryzen because it's performance relies plenty on RAM capacity and speed.
GPU: Higher-end GTX 1070 Ti or 1080.
PSU: Modular reliable PSU with decent efficiency
Storage: M.2 SSD Primary OS/Boot Drive (Faster booting up windows and loading programs/applications)
Storage: You can add a secondary 2TB HDD for example for storage around $50 or an external one.

Even a Ryzen 1200 is better for gaming than what you have. A 2600 is a significant improvement

 

[brandonmills9193]

What if I went Intel, would it be better/cheaper?

 

[bmockeg]

It would be a little better for gaming but cost more

 

[animemangamer]

What if I went Intel, would it be better/cheaper?

The intel $1k equivalent build would be a be slightly more expensive but if given the choice I would probably take Intel.
