What would R10k get me in pc upgrades

Hi all.
So I’m hoping at the end of the year or maybe even sooner to have some cash for pc upgrades probably around 10k. I’m a hardcore gamer and my build is just not up to standard anymore (plus gpu has been baked… twice :smile: )
I’m willing to go second hand and main parts that need upgrading is the:
Motherboard
Cpu
Ram
& Gpu. Basically everything that’s important lol
Got a 650w Coolermaster psu so I don’t think power would be an issue.
Anyone can maybe give me an idea of what I can get for 10k, willing to go amd or Intel whichever is best?

Will be able to get a decent i5 bundle 2nd hand and a GTX1060 New.

Also check out http://carbonite.co.za/ when u are ready there is complete systems and parts

Ive been lurking on carbonite these last few days but the thing is i’m not too sure anymore what is good and what is not…
A few years ago i knew the ins and outs of the parts, now is a different story :smile:
I’m a big AMD-cpu fan and a Geforce-gpu fan but as far as i know amd-cpu is not what it used to be and radeon has lifted their game too so was hoping that someone here could shed some light for me

I’ve got an i5 4460. Before my upgrade, and only because I wanted to go iTX, I had a cheap mobo and cheap ram. You don’t need the pricey stuff unless you plan to overclock. Spend the money on a decent GPU/SSD
