Current Specs:
CPU - AMD FX(tm)- 6300 six core processor
RAM - I have no idea the brand but i have 24gb of it
HDD - 1 Tb hard drive
GPU - Radeon RX 580 (this runs fine and i dont think i need to replace it)
Motherboard - GA-78LMT-USB3 R2
PSU - No idea but its going out anyways so ill get whatever is recommended!
and i use the latest version of windows 10!

If i could get any help i would appreciate it!

What country are you located, what is your budget and what do you use your computer for?

Basically everything but the storage and GPU should be tossed. You will want an SSD, and just use the 1tb HDD as extra storage. See the link, in my sig, on asking for upgrade advice. It is quite useful, and makes suggestions far easier.

What do you use the pc for or are there specific things you want the new pc to do, for example you want the highest FPS in games.

If gaming is a key priority what resolution and Hz is your monitor?

Intel Core i5-11400F Review - The Best Rocket Lake

The Core i5-11400F is Intel's most affordable Rocket Lake processor. While its multiplier is locked, you can still adjust the power limit. Once we did that, the CPU ran over 15% faster and almost matched the Core i5-11600K. We also made an interesting discovery regarding Gear 1 vs. Gear 2.
