what's the question lol?
how can we advise if we don't know what your current system is
are you planning to build a second system and then sell for profit?
are you going to use a second system?

probably put the £400 into a larger budget and get a better system that will last longer

I'd also go with the bigger budget option and buy something for more long term use. Given that you've just sold a budget system I can't imagine you'll be happy with another one. Surely that budget system cost you more than the price you sold it for too?

Yeah in total it cost about 500... Was thinking about getting a ryzen 1500X and mobo for about 250 and then £60 ive got a R9 280x so for 400ish i could get a 1TB HDD then other components over next couple of weeks with Christmas money

That sounds like you've wasted a lot of cash in the process. You could've just added a Ryzen 1600 into your build that you sold surely?

Ryzen 1600 and then GPU , even sticking with that CPU till next gen Ryzen H1 next year
