Hi all,

I'm looking to finally upgrade my PC after many years, this one is still going strong but I'd like to upgrade so I can at least run the latest games.

Current build:

Motherboard: Biostar TZ75B
CPU: i5-2500K
RAM: 8GB DDR3
HDD: 1 x 120GB SSD & 1 x 1TB SSD
GPU: Nvidia 1660 Super (Keep)
PSU: Corsair 850 W 80 Plus
Monitor: ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ HDR (Keep)

I primarily game on consoles but would be looking to switch back to the PC, which will only be used for general everyday use outside of gaming.

My budget is around £1,000 - £1,200, as I'll update the graphics card at a later date.

I was looking to potentially upgrade to an i7-13700K, DDR5 and a m.2 drive.

I've always used Intel but happy to switch to AMD if it's better value for money.

Appreciate any thoughts :).

Thanks
