5600X paired with RTX 2070

[GothicGhost]

Looking to upgrade my system I currently have i5 6600K @4.2GHz, 3200 32GB DDR 4

I don't mind swapping out my motherboard but not sure with AMD what cpu should I get

The 5600X looks good but not if I should get something better?

what's your budget?

What cooler do you have, will it transfer across?

My son will have my current cpu/mobo so I would need to buy a new one.

My budget I thought I would need £400 but I think I can do a decent upgrade for much less?

Thank you.

Yeah you can do, what items are you planning on transferring, assume the ram will be transferred to the new CPU and motherboard?

Yes my everything other then the cpu/mobo, I have some DDR 4 16gb I can give to my son.

buy used, i managed to grab a B550 / 5600x / 16gb ram from off eBay for £180 in December

if your buying new as @Tetras says you need to be looking at the 5700x3d as a minimum to make spending to cash worth it.

That's a good idea I will keep an eye out for some used stuff
