Hi all

So this is my first ever build and im really impressed with it, Im now obsessed with PC parts and am always on OCUK looking to get something new, What would you lovely people suggest?

Current specs!

Bitfenix Nova Window case
Intel i3-6100
MSI R9 380
1TB HDD
240GB SSD
Super Flower Leadex 550W
Z170P Asus Mobo

I know its not the best build ever but im on a budget as weve just had a baby

what budget do you have for your next upgrade?

what games do you play and what ress do you use?

what do you use the PC for, is it purely gaming? if so then maybe get a 6600 or 6600K processor as the rest is fine, I7 area is normally for video editing or something that can use the extra threads

If you are on a budget, maybe go for a weaker GPU and better CPU? It's often easier to swap out a GPU further down the line than a central processor.

Budget is anywhere between 100-160 quid a week so not long to wait to save up for bits....

Gaming is the only use really, Project cars, Fifa, Football manager, Euro truck sim 2

All played on High settings mainly, it can run Ultra but FPS drops a bit
