Planning to upgrade my old PC From this:

Processor: i5-4670K
Memory: G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 1600 4GBx2kit CL9 Red F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
Motherboard: Asus Maximus VI Gene
PSU: Corsair RM850w
Case: Bitfenix Phenom M
GPU: Galax EXOC GTX 1060 6GB 
Hard disk #1: 2TB
SSD: Plextor M5 Pro 128gb

To this:

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 6-Core 12-Thread 3.40-3.90ghz 16mb 65W
Motherboard: MSI B350M Mortar
Memory: GSkill Ripjaws V 8GB 2x4GB DDR4 2800 (F4-2800C15D-8GVRB)
PSU: Cougar VTX500 80+ Bronze 500watts PSU
Case: Fractal Design DEFINE R4 Windowed White

I still have my GPU / SSD / HDD or the PSU to save money and migrate them to the new PC
that I plan to build. Since the major component that needed to be upgraded is just the
Motherboard, Memory, and the Processor. Thank goodness Memory pricing I guess is going down
now and luckily I bought my GTX 1060 6gb just September of Last year 2017 before the Crypto
boom that forced the Graphics Card manufacturer to skyrocket there prices due to shortages.

I know i5 4670k is still a great processor till this day and it can still play games smoothly 60fps
no problem at all. I don't know how long the i5 4670k can keep up I felt that it might already
be its last leg.

I'm going all out AMD because of Ryzen this year and I've been using Intel for the past 5 years.
I've been back and forth with AMD and Intel. I remember the last AMD that I got is an old
AMD Phenom II X6 1055t 2.8Ghz back in 2012.
