Hello, So as a quick start, I have built a PC back in 2016 and it is finally dying on me. It carries a 1070 graphics card, 8gb DDR3 ram, and 6 core processor. I want a upgrade, but i understand I dont need a HUGE upgrade for the games I play.

What I play, is - Valorant - Helldivers 2 - Skull And Bones - Escape From Tarkov - I do play a lot more, but those are the main games I play.

What I need help with is identifying what is OVERKILL for a pc. Prices on components are high, so id like to keep it budget friendly. but I am open to spending a bit extra if required.

What components can I cheap out on? especially since I dont care for the RGB side of the build.

And if anyone wants to link be a build too, that would be great as I dont have a ton of time to research everything now a-days. Thanks alot!

Also what pc parts do you think I can re-use in a new build to make things cheaper?

This is a link to my current build status. I also wont overclock my pc.

*note my current pc keeps crashing from blue screens to just freezing than crashing. completely random, from watching youtube, to 1 hours into a gaming session on Valorant. I do not know what is causing the current crashing issue. But I did try resetting my PC and it is still crashing.
