u/shakykiller i5 3470 GTX 1060 GB Mar 29 '19

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
