CPU vs GPU - Upgrade sanity check

Thanks for all the replies folks.

I'm going to go with:

Ryzen 3600 - £140 from OCUK Clearance
MSI Mortar Max B450M - £55
Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 16 GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz C16 - £73

All in all, a total of approx £270-£290ish depending on if the 3600 comes with a CPU cooler or not (and factoring in about £20 for either the Wraith Stealth, or another budget cooler).
Offer them £120 for the 3600 and ask about the cooler.
 
The b grade 3600 is just a bare chip, no cooler.

I'd ignore the wraith stealth and go straight for a tower cooler (assuming it fits your case)

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £27.69 (includes shipping: £2.74)
Looks like they have changed the description as originally it did say it came with a cooler.

If that's the case that it doesn't then I'd try get 20 quid knocked off the price also.

It might be because they added a new one that didn't have it so it's more convenient not to say.
 
Yup, figured as much, especially as it has 'MPK' in the title - I believe these a tray CPUs, and not 'retail' i.e. they are without a cooler.
Put an offer in via email to Robbie so hopefully it gets forwarded on to the correct person.

If you decide for dedicated cooler you may think of:

I do not know how did they decide on the name though :) .
