Buying new CPU/mobo Need some help

[Waffles_1]

So iv been bottle-necking my Currecnt CPU with the new black ops 4 Royale.so i thought its about time to upgrade.

here are my specs currently https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/cTZdtg

If anyone could recommend a good new Mobo and CPU Pref for overclocking in the future
Got a budget of around £400 for both(if possible save a little of it for a new Tower)

So if i went with this setup i would be Ok for a upcoming games and be able to overclock if its just not quite there?

Big price difference in the Ryzen 5 2600 and the Ryzen 7 2700 but they seem almost similar

2 core difference is the biggest thing between the 2600 and 2700 but yea about $100 more for the 2700.

However if you want to go that route, yes that would be a decent setup for now and the foreseeable future. Overclocking for Ryzen though is not as prominent as Intel. The 2700 for example typically can push to 4.3GHz which is the normal max turbo boost range for that CPU while most of Intels chips turbo boost beyond that and can typically be clocked to near 5GHz or more depending on the cores (more cores normally means less in clock speed and stability). So if you want top speed and overclocking room then Intel is the route to go.

Downside is Intel is currently more expensive. The i9 9900K is the equivalent to the Ryzen 2700X. It turbo boosts all cores to 4.7GHz and if its 2 cores 5GHz. Most samples seem to get to 5GHz on a good water cooler though on all cores. However it is $600 right now due to price gouging resellers and production issues for Intel, their 14nm is stretched thin as they have too may products using it.

So this would be a good setup https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/QHmDKB if its the equivalent and is alot cheaper then ill take it
is there a cheaper Mobo around £100-130
And i can overclock the 2700x but not as much as the intel

I just picked the X470 for features and better overclocking capability but this would probably work as well.

However you might still want to try to figure your system out as said it should be fine for the game you play at the resolution you play at.

What's your render resolution in the graphics settings?

and my CPU all 4 cores at 100% constantly
