Should I build a new computer?

Question

About 2 years ago or so, I built my gaming pc that I currently use now. Its nothing too special, Ryzen 5 1600, 1050ti, 16GB, etc. Overall I spent around $1500CAD. This was back when I didn't know that much about computers. However, now that I have the knowledge I'm thinking of building a new one and selling my current one. How much would you pay for my computer? I'm thinking of building a pc with Ryzen 5 2600X, GTX 1660, 16GB ddr43000, ASRock B450. All this will roughly cost around 1300-1400 dollars. Which makes it cheaper than what I spent on the first pc and its way better. Also both have AIO

Update:

All my current specs

Motherboard: MSI B350 PC MATE

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6core

CPU Cooler: Corsair H60

GPU: EVGA GTX 1050ti 4GB

RAM: Ballistix Sport 16GB

PSU: Thermaltake TP-750M

Storage: Kingston 120GB SSD, Western Digital 1TB/2TB HDD

OS: Windows 10 Home 64 Bit

Case: Corsair Carbide 100R

At this point you have quite a bit of money sunk into your original PC.  That's a ton of money to spend on a relatively modest upgrade comparatively.    Just buy a RTX 2060 or 2070, put your 1050ti on eBay and call it a day.  The video card is what will make the real difference. A RTX 2070 will blow the socks off the 1660 even with the older processor.

Yes, and use an Intel processor instead of an AMD

i wouldn't buy the old one, no idea what you'd get for it if you sold it as a whole unit

if i was set on doing what you're doing, i'd break down the old one, keep as many parts of it as possible to use in the new one, the parts that wouldn't affect performance, like the case, net card, whatever other things you've got plugged into it, other than the core components, if they're compatible with the new stuff, and sell the rest piece by piece on ebay or whatever

just give the old one away to someone who really needs it...........
