    New build

    So I am thinking, well not thinking, but will be doing a new build, cause I think might current system is alittle out dated.

    OLD SYSTEM
    Asus M5A97 LE R2.0
    AMD FX 4-Core Black Edition FX-4350
    Thermaltake TR2-R1 CPU Cooler
    Klevv Neo 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866
    PNY CS1311 SSD - 240GB SATA3 6Gb/s Windows 10 Pro
    Western Digital Green SATA 6 Gb 1TB - Backup Drive
    Samsung DVD Writer SH-S203 (SATA)
    CoolMax CU Modular Power Supply 700W
    EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 950 2GB GDDR5

    and here's what I have now as far as parts

    NEW SYSTEM
    Gigabyte AB350N-Gaming Wifi/BT
    And the AMD Ryzen 5 2400G w/stock cooler...

    This is all I have now, but will be getting the rest in the next two weeks...
    So I decided will move over the PNY CS1311 SSD - 240GB SATA3 6Gb/s Windows 10 Pro
    Western Digital Green SATA 6 Gb 1TB - Backup Drive
    Samsung DVD Writer SH-S203 (SATA)

    Even though the PSU is still good, I want a full modular PSU. I am abit sick of the mustard and ketchup wires, so I am also opting in for CableMod.
    And as far as the Nvidia GTX 950 is concern the CPU I bought is actually a APU with Vega 11... So what do you think? Get rid of the 950 or use it?
    I can sell it for about $150, cause a new 950 is running about $200.

    And for memory I am going with the Trident Z RGB (For AMD) F4-3200C14D-16GTZRX DDR4-3200 (PC4-25600) 16GB (8GBx2)
    Also adding in a Samsung SSD 960 PRO NVMe M.2 will be my OS system ONLY


    So what do you think?
    Any suggestion?

    I use my secondary older PC with my TV to watch streaming movies/music/sports/etc (and DVD's) instead of selling or disassembling it. Mine is hardwired to my router but wireless can work too. I also have an inexpensive wireless mouse/keyboard for convenience.

    I actually want to build a media center PC also, but the case is my issue. As you can tell my mobo is a mini itx board. I figure if this build goes well, I would do a second building but, with aittle less for my media center.

    Size does matter!
