Hey guys, I currently have an old amd fx 6200 system as my main computer.
I am looking to upgrade and I have about 350 $.
I am also looking to keep my graphics card (750ti) until I can get a 1060 or better, keeping psu (500w bronze) and case for now (enermax full size) what components should I buy or should I save up? thanks, Moofie.
FYI: I also have 32gb of ddr3 ram that I can either sell or use when I upgrade the system, so if you choose ddr4 parts you can include about another 100$ in the budget.

Think this ram should be able to fetch more than $100,-.See sellers here in Holland for around €200,- which roughly in parts world means $200,- for US dollars,also see an seller on Ebay for about that amount.

If the rest of your parts are still usable would the next be a good choice,

You need a CPU/motherboard/DDR4 ram combo. There's no real point to upgrading what you have now unless you're moving up to something modern, ie DDR4 based. If you pick a Ryzen with Vega graphics you can still reuse the 750 Ti since it will give you superior performance, and it won't require you to sacrifice system ram for the graphics.

I was thinking about maybe buying a ryzen 5 1500 or 1400, 8gb of dd4 and an am4 board, but keeping gpu for a bit. How would that be?
