Time for an upgrade.

[swanseajack]

What's a good budget ryzen build to replace the computer in my signature. Keep in mind I'll be keeping everything apart from the motherboard, cpu and ram.

My trusty FX8200 has served me well but I think it's time for an upgrade.

Any suggestions, been out of the loop for ages xD

Cheers.

SJ.

Budget is about £350 but cheaper the better.

I'm guessing you'll be gaming on this machine... The below spec is a tad over budget but will be a great path to upgrade... Also its an ATX motherboard so I'm hoping you have a ATX case

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £106.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Six Core 4.2GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £188.99
• 1 x Team Group Vulcan T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey (TLGD416G30= £62.99

Total: £369.47 (includes shipping: £10.50)

Thanks, yeah I have a large atx case. At the moment it has a matx motherboard but want a full size one.

Thanks for the suggestion.

That would be what I'd go for, I'm sure others will have input shortly
