Additional Comments:
I’d like to play the new SH2.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading:
I need higher frame rates for newer games and smoother performance.
What I was planning to reuse:
Case - CyberPowerPc C-Series
(No direct links found)
CPU Cooler - Corsair H60 54 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Vwdqqs/...9060007-ww
Motherboard - MSI Z270-A PRO ATX LGA1151
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/KvvZxr/...z270-a-pro
PSU - 800W ATA-800FB-B (Atng)
(No link available)
What I was considering getting/needing to know:
GPU - Nvidia RTX 4070 (confident choice)
CPU - Ryzen 5 7600x (uncertain if a new board is needed)
RAM - Limited by current motherboard specs
Storage - 1TB SSD, 2TB SSD
And my main question is: would this be feasible and advisable, or should I start fresh and build an entirely new system?
Sorry, it’s been a while since I last assembled and much of my knowledge has faded with the newer models.
Slightly above your budget.

They appear to be excellent choices. Based on what I see on PCPartPicker, it seems a new CPU cooler would also be necessary.
The review details for the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE are presented. This CPU cooler is listed with a price of $35.90 on Amazon, and the total cost includes shipping and applicable taxes. The information was generated by PCPartPicker on September 10, 2024.
Similar to
@Why_Me's build, I recommend opting for a higher-tier mobile game and a PSU with a 10-year warranty.
