Hi guys, Im going to be upgrading my MOBO, CPU amd RAM as my old setup is quite old but i have a 1060, im doing the upgrade to run some more CPU intensive games such as Arma 3 and Playerunknowns battlegrounds. The current recommended upgrade i have been given is this:
CPU: Intel Core i5-7500 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor (£178.14 @ Aria PC)
Motherboard: MSI B250 PC MATE ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (£86.70 @ Amazon UK)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory (£59.99 @ Amazon UK)
Total: £324.83
Can anyone find any better parts for better performance and sticking around the £300 mark? Specifically if you know of any sales on good ram/processors. I don't know too much about pc's so please attempt to justify your reasons for picking parts in lamen-ish terms, Thank you very much.
Alternitively this could be a really good setup (i5-7500) in which case just say so, so i can start my upgrading Also if you have any tips on the actual manual upgrade such as big no-no;s please post those too as this will be my first ever build/upgrade apart from GPU, which was alot easier.
