Hey everyone! So, I recently realized that my budget for a new PC build has to take a serious dip, and I'm now looking to put together a configuration for under $400. Currently, I have a setup that includes an Intel i3 10100F processor, an RX 580 2048SP GPU, and a pretty basic motherboard without an m.2 slot. I also have two 1080p monitors and a random ARGB tower cooler. I'm not tied to new parts, so I'm open to used components as I'm trying to save as much as possible. Ideally, I'd like a build that can at least provide a 50% performance boost over my current setup. My gaming list includes titles like Deltarune, Undertale, Cyberpunk, Spider-Man, Roblox with RTX mods, and Minecraft with RTX mods. If you have suggestions for a parts list, especially links from Amazon or other trusted sites, that would be amazing! I'm located in San Antonio, TX.

You might want to stick with your current Intel i3 10100F since it's actually better for gaming compared to the Ryzen 1600X. Instead of spending money on an ultra budget motherboard just for the sake of ‘upgradeability,’ focus on investing wisely for your next build
Thanks for the tip! I did get the GTX 1080 after all!
