I am upgrading my rig slowly but surely currently, most of the main parts are about 12-13 years old. I'll list my current build:
Motherboard: EVGA x58 132-BL-E758-A1
CPU: Intel i7 920 Bloomfield OC @ 3.8 GHz
RAM: 12GB DDR3 @ 1600 Mhz
Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 680
Hard Drive(s): 2 1TB SATA drives in RAID0, and 1 1TB HDD for additional storage.

I am looking to upgrade my stuff mostly from parts I can get off eBay since I'm on a budget. Completion does not have a time target just whenever I have all the parts I need. Open to suggestions on what I should buy since I will be swapping from an Intel build to AMD. I bought my new motherboard off eBay the other day, it is an ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F. Does anyone have any experience with this board, if so let me know and let me know what you think I should get next!
 
a good upgrade could be a Ryzen 2600x with b450 board, 16gb of RAM and a rtx 2060 if is in your budget at the AMD side
for a Intel countepart, u could easily go for a 8700 non k with all the sparks and whistles

bout where to find it, i cant help u on that, ussualy i buy new all my stuff

side note: i used to play BF4 with a GTX 1050ti, and works like a charm, if your at single monitor

Yep only one monitor, trying to get away from intel tbh they seem expensive. Intel used to be top dog back in the day but AMD has come a long way and tends to be a budget friendly way to go now without sacrificing too much performance. Thanks for the tips I’ll look into those parts and see what I dig up!
