Help a noob Upgrade his configuration

[val0709]

Hello guys, I have currently the following configuration :
- CPU = Intel Core i5-6600K (3.5 GHz)
- MOTHERBOARD = MSI Z170A PC MATE
- RAM = DDR4 Corsair Vengeance LPX, Noir, 2 x 8 Go, 2400 MHz, CAS 14
- GPU = KFA2 GeForce GTX 1060 OC, 6 Go
- SSD = Samsung Série 750 EVO, 250 Go
- CASE = Corsair Carbide SPEC-03 Red LED
- POWER SUPPLY = Cooler Master B600 v2, 600W

I already bought the following components during promotions :
- SSD = Samsung SSD Interne 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 (1 To)



- RAM = HyperX Fury (HX436C17FB3K2/16) Mémoire 16GB 3600MHz DDR4 CL17 DIMM (Kit 2x8GB)


I would like to switch my GPU and CPU.
If I do that should I also get a new Power Supply and Motherboard?

If so could you help me pick the following new components to update my config:
- CPU / GPU / Power Supply (only if necessary) / Motherboard (only if necessary)

I have a budget around 1000€. I would like my new PC built for 24th November in order to be able to enjoy the launch of shadowlands.

Main games/activities:
- CoD Warzone / Cold War
- Overwatch
- Hearthstone
- World of warcraft
- VR (via Occulus link > Occulus Quest)

Thanks a million guys !
Kind regards.

@omega44-xt does Luxembourg have global amazon/newegg equivalent or delivery with not much shipping charges.


Ok I searched a bit & it seems using amazon.co.uk or amazon.de for ordering to Luxembourg is quite good.

Try these:
CPU - R5 5600X - 300 ??
Mobo - MSI B550 Tomahawk - 150
GPU - RTX 3070 FE/ RX 6800 - 500/580 ??
PSU - Corsair RM750 - 115
Total - EUR 1065/1145

Sadly R5 5600X & RTX 3070 are kind of in limited stocks & scalpers are buying & reselling at a mark up. RX 6800/6800Xt are coming out on 18th, might face the same issue. So grab that CPU & any of the 3 GPUs mentioned as soon as you see one with decent price. Asus TUF & MSI Gaming X are great RTX 3070 GPUs, 3070 FE runs a bit hot but is still good enough (you are lucky to find one at decent price).
