Upgrade aging custom build

[Jamesfo22]

Hi guys,

Definitely had an account on here when I was building my PC but I can’t seem to find what email it was attached to, doh! So a new account post here.

I’m currently running an old 1st gen i7 with 6gb ram and a 1050 ti 4gb. I’m looking at trying to get myself in a good place to play VR games and AAA’s.

I’ve had a good look in the ryzen’s and I’m considering the jump, any thoughts on what to go for? I’d like to push to 1070 but I’m looking at around 400-500 budget atm.

Case, ssd’s and power all seem up to scratch atm. Looking at mobo, cpu, ram and potentially graphics unless 1050 ti 4gb is gonna cut it?

Thanks for the help,

Cheers,

James

just after the core

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Team Group Vulcan T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey (TLGD416G30= £128.99
• 1 x Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming AMD X470 (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £134.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 Eight Core 1700 3.70GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £199.99

Total: £474.47 (includes shipping: £10.50)
​

Interesting, does this compare well to the 2700? Wondering if for 50 quid it's worth the jump? Thanks for the suggestions, looking like a real nice upgrade.

Can i buy your 1050ti from you when you upgrade? Have been looking at them for a while now.

Not sure what to do on graphics at the moment, if I sell soon I'll definitely give you a nudge. Are they not stocking them anymore or you just looking for a second hand one?

just sold mine on ebay. I made a mess of the end time and it only went for £90 odd

Damn! How much do they usually go for? Not looked into selling it so no idea what value is tbh.
