Upgrade £300 - £350

[SoGi]

Hi All,

A friend is looking to buy new motherboard, cpu and RAM as previous board has died. Only has a budget of around £300-350.

He mainly plays WoW and League if that helps at all. (Has PSU, a 960, case etc)

I've been out of the hardware world for a while and not sure where to point him!

Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Thank you, I've just been told he could stretch to £400 is that makes any difference at all?

Thanks you!

I think he's going to go with the £377 one, just wanted to double check something with you, on the MB page it says "DDR4-RAM at up to 2.666 MHz" but the RAM you recommended is 3200mhz, are these compatible?
