So it's time to replace my old pc,which was built in 2013.I have made a few upgrades here and there.The specs are:
-Amd A8 5600;
-8 gbs of ram,i am pretty sure that the two sticks have different speed ;
-nvidia gtx 950 2gb;
-Kingston 240 ssd;
-1tb hard drive;
-really ****ed up case,which is probably as old as me;
So i have about 700$.I will use the computer for digital drawing,photoshop,some video editing
As far as games-I have lost interest in most triple a games,but i want to be able to play semi-demanding games like black desert,dark souls,some indie games,stuff like that.I can reuse parts if needed

I believe that you can certainly keep the gpu and both drives so you can spend your budget towards more important parts.

That's a build with the newest AMD Ryzen 1700 CPU along with the best all around motherboard (kind of overkill but the quality and stability of this is the best right now) plus a quality case and modular psu
