Based on current rig, looking to upgrade to Amd 3600 and Msi B450 tomahawk.

Which parts can reuse?

Not into Oc etc. Basic usage and games, cs go / pubg

Ram have to upgrade right, can recommend which.

Looking to change casing too, considering CM Nr600, is it OK, looking for clean simple look . Dk much about airflow, space, cable management. Any others to recommend

Budget about 650 for all.
Haven't look at carousell to see what my old parts can get, so maybe can factor that in or will use it for gpu upgrade.

I would upgrade to Windows 10. Also, RAM can get G.Skill 2x8GB 3200

You can reuse everything else.

You can go to newegg to find fastest $100ish 2*8gb ram
Layman math of Mhz/CL = ?? where higher the better

There really isn't any good reason to get Tomahawk if you are not into oc.
In fact, the price difference between a cheap b450 and tomahawk could get you a 3600x.

That said, can even get the b350 provided the mobo was flashed.

Yep already on win 10. Haven't update that.

For ram, will lean towards G skill or corsair. Is 3200 required or for future proofing?

it is recommended because of its oc capability and oversea pricing
a person not needing to oc has very little use for that
you could get any cheap b450 with features that you need
i think the cheapest best value is asrock ab450(m) pro4

that depends on the memory controller which is part of the cpu
so if u use a cpu that doesn't support that speed then you can't obtain that speed
