Build Advice Help choosing new CPU, mobo and RAM

[rabmcnair90]

Hi,

I am upgrading my current PC by replacing the CPU, mobo and RAM and need help choosing parts.

I have a budget of £400 and am in the UK.

My PC is used mostly for gaming and I do some streaming while I play. I also do some programming and usually have lots of windows and applications opened at the same time.

Therefore, I was wondering if the community could help me choose the best parts for my budget.

Thanks

Something like this probably?

EDIT:
Unless if you are preferring intel then it'll be much more costly, but an overclocked ryzen 5 should be good.

Without CPU cooler.

Well if he is planning on overclocking, the hyper 212 evo black is good better than the stock cooler.

For heavy multi-tasking and streaming, I'd agree with this parts list. Ryzen is the best choice at this price-point.

Would this be better if I overclock? Ideally would like wifi option so went for the wifi on mobo.
