So it's time to replace my old pc,which was built in 2013.I have made a few upgrades here and there.The specs are:
-Amd A8 5600;
-8 gbs of ram,i am pretty sure that the two sticks have different speed ;
-nvidia gtx 960 2gb;
-Kingston 240 ssd;
-1tb hard drive;
-really ****ed up case,which is probably as old as me;
So i have about 800$.I will use the computer for digital drawing,photoshop,some video editing,Z-brush and simillar software.
As far as games-I have lost interest in most triple a games(i'm probably going to buy a 3ds for exclusive gaming),but i want to be able to play semi-demanding games like black desert,dark souls,some indie games,stuff like that.

Are you going to reuse some of the components from existing?

What case and psu have you got right now?

Is you PC used at home or at dorm?

Yeah,i can reuse the ssd and the hard drive,probably sell the gpu and the rest for a few bucks.
The case is ancient,i'm not even sure about the brand,it's in really bad condition so i have to change it.
The psu is 550w.
Uni starts in september,so i'm not sure,but i probably won't live at the dorms.

I'd probably just roll the GPU onto the new platform. CPU/MB/RAM would be what you're looking at.
