Where to spend £500?

[Brazo]

Hi all

I have £500 to spend to ‘update’ my pc which is used primarily for photoshop and Lightroom with some light gaming.

Current spec is
Dell 25 inch 1440p monitor
7700k at 4.5
16gb ram
128gb nvme os drive
1050ti 4gb
Numerous ssd’s For storage. Plenty in fact.

I am considering delidding the 7700k and pushing it to 5. I think I’ll do this regardless.

I would like to get a 500 gb nvme os drive and upgrade to 32gb ram. All the above would meet my budget but I just saw the Dell P2715q 4K monitor for £500 and thought that may be money better spent as I’m not sure how useful an extra 16gb ram is in the real world?

Thank you both. Would seem more cores are better for batch processing tasks perhaps rather than just pushing the sliders? Even so worth considering.

Not a pro so monitor is a nice to have rather than essential.
