Looking to upgrade my system need help

[budweiser28]

Hi all

I'm looking at upgrading my set up as it feels a little squishy when playing anthem
my spec is as follows

i5 2500k 3.3ghz processor
12gb of ram
1050ti graphics card
I have 2 ssd drives also

this pc has done me well for the last few years but needs upgrading now

I was looking at an i7 but unsure if it is best to buy it all as a bundle or buy each separate and do it myself

any recommendations guys will be much appreciated

thanks all

would be nice if you provided a bit more info about your current computer.
assuming the rest of your computer (especially your PSU) is up to snuff:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x AMD Ryzen 5 Six Core 2600 3.90GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £179.99
• 1 x Team Group Vulcan T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey (TLGD416G30= £89.99

Ryzen 5 paired with 1660Ti will perform great and will last you long enough
