Hi, haven't posted in a while, so I haven't really got a clue about what is best value for money anymore.

My current system is as follows:
Case: Fractal Design Arc R2
PSU: Xigmatek Tauro 600w
CPU: i5 3570k
Motherboard: MSI Z68A-GD65
GPU: AMD Radeon 6950
RAM: 8gb DDR3 1600MHz
HDD: 1tb, no SSD

My requirements would probably be having a smaller case. I'm not really sure whether I should get all new parts or keep some.

Thanks!
 
GPU and Screen if you want to save cash or increase graphical Horse power/resolution/Hz .

Also depends on the games you play, if wanting to dig into BFV or COD then worth above moving to .
£600/50 will see you with Vega 54/64 and 1440p 144hz 27" monitor .

Which 1440p 144hz monitor would you recommend, I had an asus vg248 144hz 24" monitor (wasn't ips or anything), and I liked it, but the image quality was a bit crap.
If I only upgraded my GPU, would the i5 3570k be a bottleneck at all?

Ryzen 5 1600 (or similar) mATX board (MSI B450), 16GB DDR4, Radeon RX 580 and a smaller case. CIrca £500 for that lot, not inc. case.

and.... GET AN SSD NOW! :D

I'd probably sell your system as a whole if you have no use for it, and use the £200(ish) to add to your spec further mind.

So nowadays AMD is best for value for money? I'm definitely getting an ssd, after using a laptop with an ssd for months, then going back to my PC, it feels like a pentium 4 or something

Forgot to mention that I mostly play racing games, like Dirt Rally, rFactor 2, iRacing etc... also I play CSGO which runs fine right now, and the godforsaken fortnite
