    Hi there,

    Will be buying in early Q1 when hopefully stock available. Want to upgrade to 1440p for FPS games (COD, Battlefield), flight sim 2020 etc. Use for work and general productivity aswell.

    Current spec:
    CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
    MOBO: ASUS PRIME AMD B350-Plus DDR4 AM4 ATX.
    Gpu:Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 Graphics Card 6G Amp Edition
    Ssd: crucial 240gb
    HDD: Toshiba p300 3TB
    Monitors: 1080p Acer 24" xf240h and 24" Acer cb242
    Power supply bronze EVGA 450 BT 450W.
    Case: Corsair 100r
    Ram: Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB DDR4 3200mhz RAM

    Am thinking I'll get a 27" 1440p monitor and sit in the middle of the other two 24" 1080p, my work supports multiple monitors and have a big desk space. Good idea?

    Am thinking of an AMD6800xt card and ryzen 5600x cpu.

    So what else should I upgrade?
    Def need mobo, b550 best value bet?
    Is my PSU up to the job? Its 3 years old now. RAM hopefully ok?
    SSD I def need larger as full to the brim.

    Feels like I'm building a new pc almost and monitor and gpu will take me to a grand alone.What would others do in this situation?
    Sell current parts or the whole thing and build from scratch?

    Really appreciate advice!

    New PSU would be needed also sadly but those parts should resell reasonably well.

    Always in two minds myself about selling as a whole or parts; I tend to sell parts as I upgrade little and often.

    Cheers what psu would I need do you think? 650W or so? Think I'm going the right way for 1440p?
