My 10 year old custom built computer is crashing a lot. I would like to use parts of it so I’m not blowing tons replacing everything.
The link for pc part picker has my current case, power supply, and CPU cooler which should all still be good to reuse. The other parts in that build are just ones I picked at random so are totally up for change.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I would prefer to keep it under 1000 CAD. If you want to see my actual current build I will put it in a comment.
Edit: I am running Linux Mint Cinnamon as of now. The PSU was replaced in 2021
I’d get a 5700X with DDR4 instead.
The motherboard and memory are way cheaper, and it’s plenty fast, which leaves you more budget for a bigger GPU (the most important part).
The only reason to go with a 7000 series platform is if you wanted to keep the motherboard and get a 9000 CPU later, but… as you can see now, usually you’d replace the motherboard when it’s time to upgrade anyway.
The 5000 X3D CPUs were a great sweet spot, but unfortunately it looks like they’re all OOS in Canada. Maybe there’s one Pcpartpicker isn’t covering though, like on eBay.

Fair, perhaps I didn’t look at prices recently either.
