Pc components recommendations

[Gerard Connolly]

I’m looking to upgrade my cpu, motherboard, ram and gpu on my computer, I’m in Ireland so would appreciate if anyone from the uk could include prices and recommend where to buy the components.

Don’t really have a budget but was thinking 1k, I have a series x so won’t be playing any games like cyberpunk, gta or any triple A games on it, will be used mostly to play games that aren’t well suited to console or aren’t on console like rust, lotro, dota, csgo etc.

I’m not really a pc guy so need help picking components for what I need and if my budget is enough, Thanks I’m advance for any help

6 core CPU with 12 threads, up to date chipset from Intel, fast RAM 16 Gigabytes (up to 3200 MHz) to suit your build, latest GPU RTX 3060Ti (when they are back in stock), fast storage from Wester Digital PCI-E Gen 3, Lian Li Lancool 2 Mesh case (very well rated), Gold rated PSU 650 watts to give head room for future upgrades, and best bang for buck mainstream cooler (Alternative maybe Artic Coolers).

The components I listed are the only components I really need I think, I actually bought that exact ssd for my laptop as it plays some games fairly decently tho only on low settings so could put it into my pc instead, I have a case, I have a 750w power supply already as it’s what my friends recommended at the time he built it for me.

so with that said is there any CPU’s, for around 200 that would be worth the extra cost and/or ram or motherboards. Thanks again in advance
