So I have a parts list, I only have about 25 pound left spare,but just want to see if people would replace any of these parts with something better for the same price range, thanks.

Intel Processor Core Skylake I 5-6400/2.7 GHz (Turbo Boost 3.3 GHz

MSI B150 Gaming M3 Motherboard

MSI AMD R9 380 Gaming Graphics Card4GB

Kingston Technology 120 GB Solid State Drive
HyperX FURY Black Series 8 GB 2133 MHz DDR4

Corsair 100R Case

Budget is 500 Pound and I already have a 600w PSU off a previous build

is that motherboard better? Just a shame it's out of stock on amazon, I have prime so i was planning on building it tomorrow, I know ebuyer offers next day delivery too, I was more tied between the r9 380 and the gtx 960, don't know what would be better and they are both the same price
 


yes, z170 would allow you to do some nice things with your cpu speeds, also tend to have better components and more fancy extras


the 380 is a bit faster than a 960

just needs a better psu to run, you know the exact model of your power supply?
 


its the corsair 600X i think the 80+ bronze
 


stick with a gtx 960 then if its a corsair CX
 


I will be upgrading my PSU anyways, because i'd prefer a semi-modular with less wires, you recommend a good PSU to go with the r9 380?
