Hi there, I'm planning to upgrade my PC this month or next month. I don't know much about PC components but what I can say is that I'm planning to upgrade the whole PC unit. If possible, I'd like to have this in a buildmypc thread, and I specifically want a white tower. As things goes with my current components, I'm hoping that I can upgrade most of them and use them in my new PC. **If you have a suggestion on when I should take into consideration on buying this, feel free to point it out, thank you.**

Here are my current components for my PC:
Motherboard: MSI 760GM-P34
CPU: AMD FX-4300 Quad-Core Processor
RAM: Ramos Technology EWB4GB681CA3-16IC
Disk Drive: TOSHIBA DT01ACA050
Processor: AMD FX
Case: Mid tower (I don't know what it's called)

Location: Canada, Ontario

Building Exception: Monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers.

Additional usage: Mainly gaming (from Osu! to League of Legends, battlefield, etc.), school work, music production. Basically everyday usage.

I'm hoping this is as much information as I can provide you. I don't really have much of a knowledge on PC but overall just want an upgrade.

Honestly, with that system, there's nothing worth moving forward. The 500GB Toshiba HDD could be used as secondary storage but, beyond that..... I can't think of anything.

I would look to something along these lines:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor ($224.04 @ Amazon Canada)
Motherboard: ASRock - B450 Pro4 ATX AM4 Motherboard ($119.99 @ Newegg Canada)
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2666 Memory ($174.99 @ Canada Computers)
Storage: Samsung - 860 Evo 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($99.99 @ Amazon Canada)
Video Card: PowerColor - Radeon RX 580 8 GB...
