Thanks for that. I have a HP Omen i5 7300HQ with 2GB Nvidia GTX 1050 (which I will sell to fund this purchase), will the above be significantly better?
I actually have a i5 3570K - 8GB, but with no graphics card too, was going to sell this as well.
Looks like the Ryzen will be a step up
I've seen 16GB 2x8GB 3000+ DDR4 go for about £45 in the Member's Market at times. Wouldn't be a bad idea to keep eye on it (goes fast though). Still, can always add more RAM if you find a game pushing the limit. Or a second hand Ryzen 2600 or 2600X.

Just use that 3570k, add a decent GPU.
the 7300hq from your laptop would be the equivalent of the 3570k with a slight overclock
tbh, the best value proposition would be to stick in a rx570 to that 3570k and see if you like the performance gain (rx570 is nearly double the performance of the 1050 in your laptop)
if you don't like the performance/want more...then upgrade the rest.
you have free shipping anyway. so nothing to lose.

Is that the best gfx card for around £150?
this sounds pretty good but id probably scour for an older 980 or cheap 1060
