Looking to upgrade - £500~

[Murray]

Hey, I've had my PC for a long time now and outside of a few GPU upgrades I haven't really changed anything so was wondering what my best upgrade options are for around £500.

Current Specs :

• i5 2500k
• RX 480
• 8GB Dual Channel DDR3-1333
• Gigabyte P67A-UD3-B3
• OCZ 600W (can't remember exact name)

I was considering just picking up this but not sure if there are better options for me :

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x AMD Bundle - AMD Ryzen 5 2600, Gigabyte X370-Gaming 3, Team Group RAM *FREE 240GB SSD* *ONLINE ONLY* = £437.96
  • Memory Capacity:Team Group Vulcan T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey (TLGD416G30

Total: £448.46 (includes shipping: £10.50)​

It's a good package , but have to ask is your i5 overclocked ?
And what games do you currently play the most or plan to ?
Like BF1/V you'll see gains moving but Civ6 you wouldn't etc

Yeah, I have it overclocked @ 4GHz

I pretty much play every type of game. Looking forward to things like Forza Horizon 4, BFV, etc

I think Forza likes cores more then threads and BF 1/V will take anything you can throw at it !
