Hey, so I would like to get myself a new pc.
Been running my pc for 3 years now so yeah haha.
Want to spent around 1000 euro on it.
Right now I am running a gtx 960 4gb, i5 4460, 8gb ram.
I could re-use my motherboard and ram and all the other stuff and only upgrade the processor and graphicscard.
The storage is also still fine, maybe upgrading it to a 500 gb SSD or something along those lines.
If anyone got some suggestions on what to do, build a new rig or just use some parts of this one. Just let me know
When I am re-using parts I am not thinking to spend 1000, just 600 or so.
Greetings,
Ruub

If you're using a HDD as opposed to SSD currently, I recommend picking that up first and seeing if the performance improvement is sufficient enough to hold off a while on a full upgrade (and save a little extra cash for it in the meantime).
Typically I do incremental upgrades (e.g. adding RAM, drives, PCI cards, etc.) until it comes time to upgrade the CPU at which point I do a full upgrade and replace the motherboard, PSU, RAM, CPU, etc... sometimes I'll swap the video card over depending on how old it is.

Hey, yeah I am using a 1tbHDD and a 126gb SSD.
So you would recommend to first upgrade some of the components?
The main thing why I want to upgrade is because of my gpu is kinda running bad, cant play the new games on normal anymore..

You can always upgrade your GPU to something a much better now and then transfer it over to a new machine whenever you eventually get around to it.. plus it'll significantly reduce the cost of that new machine.

I have a similar configuration, but I use a GTX 1060 ti.

I'd probably go with a GTX 1060 like TioSky said, that's what I'm using as well. Definitely go with a 6GB version as opposed to 3GB.

Well i would suggest Amd ryzen only!
And to make sure you're new cpu/gpu don't bottleneck each other.
And to make sure not to get a higher ram speed then necessary
example some cpu's have a 2666mhz speeD< i have that. and i got 2666 ram 32 gb 8x4 dual chamber fastest.
If you get anything above 2666 it's useless/a waste of money and won't be used unless you get a better cpu that has higher speed.
Now i wouldn't recommend any intel stuff. Get Amd! only
