Hey everyone! I'm considering building a new PC or possibly upgrading my current one. Here's what I'm working with: I have an i5-6600k processor, 32GB of RAM, and a GTX 1650 Super graphics card, all on an Asus Z170-A motherboard. My setup also includes two Titan Army 27-inch 2K monitors.
Honestly, I'm not super tech-savvy, so I'm wondering if it's time for a full upgrade. I've got a budget of around $800 to $1000 for new parts since I already have peripherals like monitors, keyboard, and mouse.
I mainly play OldSchool RuneScape, which isn't too demanding, but I do enjoy some CS, some graphic design work, and I tend to keep 10+ tabs open while browsing. What I'm really looking for is a decent computer that can handle OSRS, streaming, and multitasking smoothly without needing top-tier performance since I don't play very demanding games. Any advice or direction would be super helpful!

It really depends on whether you're feeling any lag or issues with your current setup. If you're not having major problems, you might not need a full upgrade. But if you've been experiencing crashes and performance issues, it's probably time to rebuild. In terms of longevity, the Ryzen 5 9600X with a 3060 GPU would keep you going strong for a while!
Definitely sounds like a good time to consider a rebuild! If you're looking for parts that fit your budget, a solid option could be the Ryzen 5 5600X along with a decent mid-range GPU. That should handle everything you want to do without any issues and you'll see a nice improvement overall.
