Been slowly upgrading a prebuilt from 2009. I’ve upgraded everything but the mobo, ram, cpu, and cooler. Was hoping someone could do a sanity check on my build to make sure it’s good for a few years at least.

    I’ll probably get an nvme drive down the road, i already have an ssd for my boot drive. My budget is about $800 so im reaching the upper bounds here.

      In that case you may want to consider dropping down on cpu to get a better graphics card. His $850ish build will probably serve you better than going up on CPU and ram UNLESS you plan on putting funds aside for a GPU upgrade soonish.

      That said, I would say an NVME drive will boost you quite a lot simply due to the read write speeds compared to a sata SSD. It will be noticeable.

        Definitely will keep that in mind, right now I’m focused on bringing it to modern specs, then going from there.
