    Hi.

    This is my old PC ( 5yo Approx ).

    Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H
    Processor: Intel 3570k (overclocked to 4.3Ghz)
    Graphics Card: Gtx 670 EVGA FTW edition 2GB
    Ram:Geil 2x4GB dual channel ddr3(8GB total)
    PSU: 430CX corsair
    Case: CM storm cooler master
    Hard Drive: 1TB Seagate Barracuda blue
    Wireless card: TP link 300mb/s PCI-e
    OS:Windows 7 Home Premium

    Have Monitor, and keyboard, mouse etc...


    Wanting to upgrade, or am I wasting my time, and should go for a new one altogether, and sell off the old one ?
    Have approx € 1200, plus sale value of old one, if that's the way go...

    All opinions would be appreciated.
    Based in Cork,


    Thanks

    Jay

    I'd sell the whole thing as 1 PC.

    Build a system around Ryzen 5 2600X or i5-9600K.

    Right now I'm holding off on build lists until CES 2019 (8-12 January) blows over.
