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,

if gaming 960 4gb is outdated and bring u 20+ fps a latest games

put the 600 euro in the GPU 1060 at least and a ryzen2600x
It's fine to reuse the rest. if u felt it's enough for now, or upgrade later on after gpu and cpuupgrade

If you're willing to spend $1000 euro on upgrading follow my steps.

I upgraded to a GTX 1080 8gb from a GTX 960 like what you have and I also upgraded from a i5-4460 to an i7-8700k and I can run every AAA game in high or ultra settings without any lag at all.

Then with the money you have left over look into getting 16gb of ram most likely from Corsair since they're pretty high quality.

well it's best to start with the ssd then cpu then gpu, if you buy the gpu first your current cpu will most likely bottle neck it
as for suggestions of what to get if split the money 50$ ss/ 300$ gpu/ 250$ gpu i'd say going with a 2060, a newer card and goes around 300$, for ssd just get any 50$ just make sure it's from a known brand like sandisk or samsung.

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.
