Hey guys! Here for some advice if anyone would be so kind, apologies for the long post in advance.
Approaching the zen 2 release, I'm looking to upgrade my PC with some saved up money - my current build is below. My current thought is to overhaul the Mobo, RAM, and CPU (to a zen 2 model and appropriate mobo) - keeping GPU, PSU, and both storage disks (+peripherals). Intended use is gaming, currently on a 75hz monitor, but if I can achieve it on a reasonable budget, I could be convinced to try for 144hz performance (?).
Given the Ryzen 2600 is dropping to around £140, I have considered picking up this and some of the amazing RAM prices, along with a mobo. Altogether for around £300. This is a rough budget, but I know the zen2 would put the price up, that's fine. Essentially looking for advice particularly regarding the CPU and mobo.
Current build:
CPU: i5-4460 3.2GHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H81M-S2V
RAM: 8GB Crucial 1600 DDR3
GPU: Nitro+ RX480 8GB
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB + 2TB HDD.
PSU: EVGA 600WBR
Monitor: LG22MP68VQ-P
