Hi, I'm looking to get a pc to play mw2 ranked play at over 200 frames. I dont know whether it would be doable to upgrade the one I have now or just sell it and build a new one. Thanks for your help.

What is your budget and currency? £2000 is max but if it could be done a lot less say £1000 then I'd go for that
What will you use the PC for? gaming and streaming. I play fast paced fps games like cod and csgo competitively so high frame rates are ideal
Do you need a monitor? I'll sort the monitor
Do you need a keyboard, mouse, or other peripherals? I've got peripherals
Do you need an operating system? unsure?
Will you overclock? potentially. I have overclocked the one I have now years ago
Anything else we should know?


Requesting upgrade advice
CPU
AMD Ryzen 5 1600 36 C
14nm Technology
RAM
16.0GB (this is g skill trident z rgb but on speccy its not showing and says 1064MHz, think it should be 3600)
Motherboard
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING (AM4) 35 C
Graphics
ASUS VG249 (1920x1080@60Hz)
SAMSUNG (3840x2160@60Hz)
ZOWIE XL LCD (1920x1080@144Hz)
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (ASUStek Computer Inc) 35 C
Storage
232GB Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB (SSD) 26 C
931GB Western Digital WDC WD10EZEX-60WN4A0 (SATA) 22 C


How much do you want to spend on the upgrade? £1000 would be nice dont mind going over. if it can be done cheaper than great
What is your goal for the upgrade? I'd like to be able to play the new mw2 at over 200 frames for ranked play. I know i'll have to upgrade my monitor to get higher hz but I can do that later

Thanks guys

PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 3.4 GHz 8-Core Processor (£280.97 @ Amazon UK)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory (£79.50 @ Amazon UK)
Video Card: ASRock Phantom Gaming D OC Radeon RX 6800 XT 16 GB Video Card (£551.99 @ Newegg UK)
Total: £912.46

Cheapest way I could think of doing it. You could get away with a CPU upgrade to a fairly swift CPU as long as you do a BIOS update first, then just drop in the GPU.

I've added extra RAM as a separate item. You could do it again, cheaper by getting another set of what you currently have but you might get issues that I'm getting where it's the same model of RAM, same speed same everything but they're just not playing nice. For the sake of £40, might as well just get a whole new kit.

Thanks for the help. I could probably trade my old parts in at cex for a few hundred then its not really costing a lot. Looks good. So this is all compatible with my motherboard? I dont have watercooling on either I have 2 fans on the case. cpu fan and the gpu fans. would this still be sufficient?
might seem like stupid questions but I've not bought pc parts since 2017 haha
