Inspiron 5680, CPU-GPU-PSU-RAM upgrade options
Hi all,
I bought an Inspiron dt 5680 on july 2018, I am looking now to do some upgrades instead of buying a whole new pc. These are the specs of my pc :
- Intel® Core™ i3 8100 (4-Core/4-Thread, 6MB Cache, 3.6GHz )
- Intel Z370 mobo (I guess)
- Chassis with EPA 460W
- 8GB (1X8GB) DDR4, 2400MHz
- NVIDIA GTX 1060 3GB
So, what's the best combo of CPU-GPU-PSU-RAM I could upgrade my pc to? I only use it as a gaming pc, I am mainly into simracing.
Thank you very much.
ps. please consider I am quite a noob in regards to that subject, so bear with me and keep it simple, thanks!

Lots of threads about upgrading the Inspiron 5680. Have you looked at any of those for your answers?
The first things I'd want to upgrade would be the CPU and RAM. An i3 is wimpy for gaming and you probably would want at least 16 GB of RAM.
You going to be able to handle all these mods yourself...?
And if you do all that, what's the price tag vs a new PC with more capabilities already built in...?
