Question Need advice on upgrading my PC

[xKetjow]

Hi. I'd like to upgrade my PC. I'm willing to spend up to about 400 pounds, i'd be buying the parts in the UK

My current build is here: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/qgJQpG

I'd generally like to get better performance in gaming, as currently, even in League of Legends, I get FPS drops when I for example have YouTube open in the background, but I also may do some streaming.

Suggestiong that I've received so far are that I should get DDR4 16gb RAM, and get an RX 580, although i'm not sure how good these suggestions are.

Things that are the most important would be low temperatures (my current temperatures are decent, but on some games my GPU gets to 65-70 degrees) and preferably not much noise, as in some games, my PC is kinda loud (although i'm assuming that this is because of the single fan on the GPU)

Any advice appreciated!

Thanks.

This would be a good upgrade if the budget allows.

Plenty of power for games as well as streaming at 1080P. The PSU upgrade is a must to replace your current GTX 950.

I would buy something like this. PSU is overkill, but if you will upgrade your PC later it's needed

RYzen 3600X and 3700X and above are reviewed available to order on 7 July...

Might make more sense than getting a R5-1600/2600-based rig's parts ordered, and then finally built 2 days prior to a new CPU's release

Sorry for the late reply. When the R5-3600 comes out, would it be at all worth going for the R5-2600? I had a look at some estimated prices and apparently it'll cost around 180-200 pounds. I've created a rough build of what i'd be buying (not including the things i've already got, case, storage etc) and it'd cost me around 520 pounds, this is what I came up with: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/t9Hx4q

We won't know if it'll be worth it until there released and have been extensively reviewed.

Just found this via AMD.
https://www.amd.com/en/product/8456

Boost clock speed reported on other sites was 4.4ghz but per AMD's page (above) its 4.2 which is only 300mhz above the 2600 which really isn't much.
