So I've come up with this although I've got another 8/9 days to change my mind (again!), any thoughts/advice? Gigabyte Z690M DS3H Netac DDR4 3200MHZ 32GB Intel i3 12100F Radeon RX 7600 MECH 2X CLASSIC ID-COOLING SE-224-XTS White CPU Cooler I thought it might be better as Lutfij suggested to...

I'm going to try and sneak an extra £100, wifes going to her sisters for a week in July so I'll give myself an extra £100 to spend which should get me an RX 6700XT or perhaps a used 3070 I think 🤔

So I've decided to go for a GPU upgrade (managed to smuggle £265 away), a friend has a 3060ti for sale and wants £240 for it or I can just about manage an obviously brand new RX 7600, read review after review and just can't decide. I've had Nvdia for the last 12 years so am comfortable with the...

I think I'd better start squirreling some money away! I'm not a hardcore gamer as such and am happy with 1080p just want a bit extra quality graphically.

Well it will have to be a bit at a time, probably around £150 a time. The motherboard, CPU and graphics card where all second hand and are about four years old, well to me they are! I'm quite savvy with bits and pieces, the only things I bought new where the PSU and case.

So I'm in a bit of a muddle as to what to upgrade next, motherboard, graphics card or CPU. I'm on a very tight budget and will be buying on the used market, the PSU is brand new, forced to buy one after my Antec started buzzing. Any suggestions welcome! System specs; Intel i5 8400 Corsair...

But if you are looking to gradually evolve the PC you have is a Z390 a good board for an i5 8400?

Just messing!

How do you not get a headache from all that?

Just ordered that one, I can get back to having a life again! Thanks for the info, appreciate it!

Well, it's not a barebone system, 2 HDD, 1 SSD, 10603Gb I saw another, Antec NE 650M which fits my budget and is modular, but searching on here it does seem to be frowned upon a bit. I'm gonna have to get something soon though the clicking from the Corsair is driving me mad!

Yeah, shame it's not but it's in my budget with a couple of quid to spare!

Thanks I saw this as well Antec 500W NeoECO Gold ZEN I'm getting a bit bored of looking now, but I know a lot more about Psus than before!

Sorry to be a nuisance but I just found a BitFenix Formula Series 550w 80 Plus Gold here: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/bitfenix-formula-series-550w-80-plus-gold-power-supply-ca-22y-bx.html Is this the same that's in the Tier 1 list?
