I have up to £900What's your budget?
Thanks for you help! My PSU is Cooler Master V850 Gold V2 PSU, I would upgrade prefer to upgrade the CPU and GPU , It sounds like i could also do with upgrading my motherboard ? If i could add some more to my budget, say an extra £300 would you recommend upgrading the motherboard too?Which exact PSU do you have? Your motherboard only has PCIe 3.0 so you'll lose about 5% performance on the current highest-end GPUs and the CPU will be a bottleneck (even at 4k) for most games but as long as your PSU has 3x PCIe 8-pin you could even go as high as the 7900 XTX:
Asrock Radeon RX 7900 XTX Phantom Gaming OC 24GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card

The AB350 motherboard can take better processors too, so if you wanted to in the future you could drop in something like a Ryzen 5700X3D which would make the build a bit more balanced. If you're only targeting 60fps at 4k though while the 2600 does bottleneck the GPU in a pretty big way, it's still able to maintain 60fps in a lot of games (excl Cyberpunk): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWVFtX0hAls
It's really depends whether you want to upgrade your CPU in the budget too and have a slightly less 4k future proofed GPU (i.e. 7900XT) or if you want to spend all your budget on one of the most future proofed 4K GPUs and then upgrade the CPU afterwards.
Thanks for you help! My ram is teamgroup pro dark drr4 3200 16gb would that be ok to keep ? I was also thinking if i add and extra £300 to my budget would you recommend i upgrade the motherboard >?If sticking with AM4, something like this would fit the bill:
My basket at OcUK:
- 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D Eight Core 4.1GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail (SKU: PRO-AMD-01799) = £229.99
- 1 x Team Group Vulcan Z T-Force 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey (SKU: MY-0AJ-TG) = £59.99
- 1 x Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 GRE Gaming 16GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-SPR-01588) = £549.95
Total: £847.92 (includes delivery: £7.99)
You'd need to update your motherboard bios to the latest version.
It would handle 4K passably, although obviously it depends on the game and settings.
