Hello,
Today I was thinking about updating my PC a bit. I'm willing to spend around 500-600 euro.
Main use is Gaming ofc. GunZ, League, CS:GO.
I already have a great monitor,keyboard,mouse,headset, GFX Card and I need some other hardware components and PC Box. I also have to change mother board since the one im using is pretty old.
Suggestions are welcomed.
It depends what exactly you want to upgrade, usually the most important component at the moment is the GFX card, next one is the SSD so if you don't have one, better get one with high capacity and load your games on it.
Except the GFX Card ( I got the 750TI which works for me) everything else needs to be changed.Quote:

You can look up the new Ryzen from AMD or stick with Intel.Quote:

or look at the skylake version the z170/ i5 6600k or i7 6700k+
List your current system specs and I think you will get better advice. Include the monitor.
I find a fast running pc more important as fancy graphics.Quote:

Also heard this website is useful https://pcpartpicker.com/
For motherboards are you looking for compatibility with your current peripherals or are you looking to tweak voltage etc?
If I were you, the 3 parts you should be looking to upgrade are going to be your cpu, ram and mobo. A C2D is really dated at this point. Im not sure what the prices in EU are right now though.
I'd recommend you go for an AMD ryzen 1600x or an Intel i5 7600k. Depends if you value higher core count or clock speed. Then go from there. Although the AMD would probably do you better in the long run.
You can upgrade everything if you keep that 750ti,Quote:

That's not true. Same socket, just a bios update is needed for most motherboards.Quote:

I left your case alone since that is really personal preference and made sure the power supply was modular since I suspect you want that particular feature. All well known brand names.
This gives you plenty of headroom for upgrading the video card later down the road.
Thanks very much fam.Quote:

No problem google translator works haha. You can overclock that cpu as well with that setup. Here's a review of the processor so you can compare to Intel if you are curious.

If you can spend an extra 20 euros though I'd go for this memory instead.
8GB 3000 dual channel ddr4 2x4GB sticks

Ryzen likes the higher speed for 1080p and since you have a 144hz monitor it makes sense. Up to you though.
