Hello all I am currently in the market to upgrade my pc(new build) and would like your suggestions on what I should look into, looking for something that will perform great for the tasks I need it to do (below).
I will start off with my current build so you know where I am coming from:
CPU: AMD A8 5500 APU
Mobo: MSI FM2-A75MA-E35
RAM: Patriot 8 GB DDR3 1600MHz
Storage: Samsung SSD 840 Series 120 GB
GPU: Zotac Geforce GTX 1060 6GB (won't change this if unnecessary)
PSU: 400 Watt
Display: Samsung TV 55" 1080P @ 60Hz (not changing this)
What I Would like to get out of the PC:
- Want to play games such as Forza Horizon 4, GTA V, Dirt4, etc. @ a min of 30FPS (60FPS preferred) at high detail game settings.
- Play games effortlessly on my Oculus Rift with no studdering in frames
- 3D model creation utilizing Fusion 360
- Stream video (i.e. Netflix or Youtube) @ 1080p
- Browse internet via chrome with multiple tabs while listening to music on Youtube.

Don't know the case but considering the PSU, I'd say the case would be worth replacing as well anyway.

Power Supply: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($89.99 @ Memory Express)
Total: $1105.26
So, just re-use your 1060 and SSD(but add another SSD, as above). You can also add an HDD if necessary in whatever capacity you require. I included 16GB RAM, you could go with 32GB if you really wanted but it's easy to add RAM later, so I'd just get 16GB for now and if you feel you need/want another 16GB, go for it. NZXT H500 because it's a great mid range case. There are plenty of good cases in a similar price range if you want other options though.
