I’d probably go with a Ryzen 1200, A320 motherboard probably a Asus Prime A320M and 2x4gb of middle of the road DDR4.
This! I've been picking 2nd hand bits off of auction sites over the last couple of weeks...

A new A320 board, a 2nd hand Ryzen 1200 and 8GB of new 2400MHz Corsiar LPX; just over £100 :cool:

I "found" a new Evo 212 I forgot ever buying whilst I was clearing out a draw!

@Methanoid - sorry, only just saw your post! All my vintage bits are/have been selling on a popular auction website... "EP31-DS3L"

@humbug - watch this space, I've got plenty more like that coming soon, I'm going through my lofts at a rate of knots ;)

Thanks, thats a pain as I am bidding on a very similar system. Which should I plump for? Decisions decisions :)
