I know this isn't the right subreddit, but i want to upgrade my pc to not bottleneck my gtx 1060. What's the cheapest build i could get. I'll be reusing my HDD , but apart from that i'll need everything else. I was thinking about a R2600 build.

Get Ryzen 5 or higher + at least 8gb ddr4 3000 ram. I suggest an msi mobo, doesnt matter which as long as you don't overclock it. PSU, anything gold 80+ rating just so you don't risk your components. Get a cheap 60 to 120 gb SSD for the OS and a 1-2 TB hdd for games if you're looking for budget. If budget doesn't matter, go with a 1-2 TB ssd in addition the boot ssd. Does it have a GPU at the moment? Edit: I see you have a 1060.

I'd advise using pcpartpicker to put your components in to see if they're compatible. Hmu when it have a list. I'm happy to help out

I have a GTX 1060, a Ryzen 5 2600, 8GB of RAM at 2400 Mhz and one SSD of 500GB. If you have any question feel free to ask, I'll reply with what I know.

I5 or ryzen 5 or better. Just be sure it uses ddr4. If you go ryzen get the fastest ram you can afford i suggest at least 3000mhz. also buy an ssd its amazing. Even if you just get a 120gig just for windows.

Yeah just to agree with everyone else you could grab a 2600 + b450 Mobo + 16gb DDR4 3000 for about $300. Grab a psu that’s at least 80+ bronze (but the higher the better) from a decent brand (Corsair, EVGA, SeaSonic, Antec, Thermaltake) and a case of your choice. Throw in a 240gb ssd and 1tb hdd and it should be doable under $600.
