Hi guys
I believe I need an upgrade because i feel my machine is getting slower
I currently got:
Intel Core i5-3350P
P8 H61-M LX3 PLUS R2.0
AMD Radeon R9 270
10Gb (2+8) Kingston 1600Mhz
1Tb Wester Digital Blue 7200Rpm +Samsung 850EVO 240Gb
700w pwsu

I believe the first thing to upgrade would be the CPU and probably the motherboard then I would get a newer and better chassis fan.
Everything I got inside my case dates to 2013-2014 and was built by me when i was 14 so don't judge my build xD
I wouldn't want to get over 400euros.
Thank you!!

For 400 euro you say ?

I would upgrade in two possible choices;

i7-3770 on ebay Uk average 120 quid : https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xi7-3770.TRS0&_nkw=i7-3770&_sacat=0

16GB DDR3 2x8GB 1866 RAM averages 75 quid: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XDDR3+2x8gb+1866.TRS0&_nkw=DDR3+2x8gb+1866&_sacat=0

get a proper video card next would be my bet leaving you about 200 quid for one, quick look at eBay again you can find a 1060 3GB for this with some change.
