I'm thinking of building a new pc for gaming also streaming maybe
I haven't had internet for awhile so I haven't really messed with my desktop.
I have a cheap nzxt case that is scratched up from a fan falling on it so i might end up replacing it or painting it and I know I need to replace my Power supply because it came with a cheap one that I believe is like 400w.
I'd like to upgrade as I go so if there's anything you see that i could reuse would be great.
I would like to not spend more than 50$ on psu
graphics card shouldn't be over 200$ for me
I have a job but don't want to throw a ton of money on a Pc at one time so any opinions on my build would be great.
thanks

What is your overall budget for upgrades? Why are you upgrading? I mean, you can re-use as much as you need to. Or, you could replace everything and build a whole new PC. It all depends on your budget, and why you want/need new components.

I'm sorry, my budget for this will probably be like 300-400$.
I would like to be able to play current games on high settings with out a problem.

I'm going on the assumption that the PSU needs to be replaced, and that you are using USD.

Re-use your HDD, and CPU/Mobo/RAM. Next upgrade should replace CPU/Mobo/RAM, but at this point, wait for AM4, or Intel's equivalent to AM4(IMO). The FX-6100 will do fine until then, though it is going to be your bottleneck now. I included a nice new case, and an SSD, so that once you upgrade to AM4/Intel, you'll have a nice lil system. Also, XFire support so if you upgrade to a motherboard with XFire support, you can add a 2nd 380 to the rig for more GPU power.
