My 10 year old custom built computer is crashing a lot. I would like to use parts of it so I'm not blowing tons replacing everything.

The link for pc part picker has my current case, power supply, and CPU cooler which should all still be good to reuse. The other parts in that build are just ones I picked at random so are totally up for change.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I would prefer to keep it under 1000 CAD. If you want to see my actual current build I will put it in a comment.

Edit: I am running Linux Mint Cinnamon as of now. The PSU was replaced in 2021

I think it would be fine to get started with. The budget is hard to work with since Canadian prices are higher and buying new, so some sacrifices have to be made. There shouldn't be that much of a bottleneck and it will ultimately depend on what is being played. The 9600X would perform a bit better, but I think the 8GB of vram will be noticeable in more situations, especially if you don't want to use FSR/frame gen which is still not nearly as good as Nvidia's offerings.. A B580 GPU would be a decent compromise to pair with the 9600X, but at the end of the day, between the two, I'd rather have the 9060XT 16GB. I also don't know how well Intel GPUs work with Linux so I'm hesitant to recommend that route.
