Hey guys! So 1,5 years ago I had built my first ever PC. This PC caused me allot of problems in games, and till this day I still don't know what the problem is...

Sooooo..... I want to build a new one over time. The only thing that I'm going to re-use from the current PC is the CPU and a single SSD.
Is it smart to buy a PC over time, and to re-use components?

This new build is going to be a Black/White build, with most/all of the Peripherals black. This is a mid-ranged rig (~ €2000) that should easily hit 60FPS in whatever game I'm playing.

Here are the Specs im aiming for:

  • Case - NZXT H440 (White/Black)
    CPU - Intel® Core i7-4790
    CPU Cooler - NZXT Kraken X62
    Motherboard - MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
    Memory - Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
    Storage - Samsung 850 EVO-Series (2 x 250GB)
    Storage - Western Digital BLACK SERIES 2TB 7200RPM
    GPU - ASUS ROG STRIX-GTX1060 6G GTX
    PSU - Corsair RMx 850W 80+
I would love to see your opinion on this rig and if this is actually a smart move.
Thanks for helping out.

Solution
its usually better to save your pennies and buy everything at once, just because the long term trend on everything is for prices to go down.

what are you planning to save from the old system?
