Upgrade or replace?

If I was prepared to buy the Crucial memory I'd probably get the 48GB 5600 kit instead, especially as it might buy more time before an upgrade for the productivity stuff.

I like Kingston memory, but £129 for 6000 C40 is not a great deal.

I can near enough price match the Crucial memory.. but extra 16GB for a sacrafice of 400mhz.. hhmm

Not running out of memory for longer is worth it, in my opinion, unless you're a super competitive gamer that will be upset at 3 fps. It is also true that I don't like XMP, so..

New system

also, SLi isn’t a thing any more so sell one of the GPUs (unless you need it for rendering or something else).

this.

if you got the space for a 360mm aio then this is the way i would go for the 14700k
a cheap and cheerful aio i would go for is the thermalright aqua elite 360
£49...smashing value

Thermalright Frozen Notte and Aqua Elite 360 White V3 Review: Strong AIOs available for less than $65

If you’re looking for a strong AIO that has a budget price tag, you can’t beat Thermalright’s bang per buck.

a week on monday (3rd June) amd are annoucing their new cpu's apparently(so all the rumours say). I'd be waiting for that before I pulled trigger on anything at mo if doing a new build and deciding cpu/mobo.
for ram you can get 32gb (2x16) corsair vengeance non rgb 6000C36 for £103(grey expo) or £104(black xmp) at mo...the 6000C36 48gb(2x24gb) sticks are £151...note the 48gb sticks are xmp only...if you want the rgb add £8-10 depending which sticks you go for
