[12kglixelli]

Hey,
Im looking to upgrade my CPU, I have a budget of around £250-£300, Mr current Specs are:
AMD A8 7650K
Gigabyte F2A78M-HD2 MOBO
8GB RAM
I also just got the GTX 1050Ti, so I'm looking for one which will work nicely with it

Thanks in Advance!

Ryzen would be a great choice for you. You will require a new motherboard and DDR4 RAM. You can easily afford a Ryzen 3, and still have room for a Ryzen 5 if you wanted the extra threads.

Good build but the only thing I would change is the memory to 3200mhz & the CPU to the 1200 as it can be overclocked to match performance to the 1300X and it saves you a bit of money.
