I really want to upgrade from my I5 4460, but my budget is 500 euros.
So i really need some help with my upgrades, or should I save up for a bigger upgrade?

Thanks for the help :)
 
Solution
AMD would be the best upgrade, as you need the extra cores/threads for modern games.
If you could get an I7-4xxx that would improve things, but 4 cores nowadays seems to struggle.

Something like this...

Don't know what PSU you already have
If you need a PSU then can change the SSD to a cheaper one.

Is there an equivalent of the ryzen 2600 to intel processor? I also want to upgrade my i5-4460 but I’m not sure of what should I buy.
