Howdy y'all
Let's get straight to the point, I have a 5yo pc with i5-2400, 8gb ram and gtx960 4gb I got in 2016, and performance has been killing me lately (for quite some time in fact), so I am dying to get something new and better asap. I am looking at something under $500, so far I figured this setup: i5-7600k, z270 mobo, single 8gb ddr4 stick, and an ssd. From what I've seen available, cheap and more popular motherboards and ssd's are both little over $100. I've been estimate with prices since I just see Russian prices, so note that. Anyways, being a newbie, I greatly appreciate your help in form of suggestions and opinions on this, so thanks ahead.
