Hiya

As in the topic, I'm looking to upgrade my rig.
Currently I run:
CPU: AMD FX-4100 - 3,6Ghz
GPU: Sapphire HD 7950 3Gb
RAM: 4GB
Storage:
SSD: Samsung 840 Evo - 128GB
HDD: Hitachi 350GB

I was sort of planning to go and change only mobo, CPU and ram as my GPU is still solid (my thinking). Also I was thinking to add M2 SSD but now wondering if it is actually worth it...

Have looked at originally at i5 6600K plus mobo Z170 and 16GB of ram (ddr4 3000Mhz) in the region of £380. I have somewhere arround £500-600 to spend.

Should I get just 3 things as stated as it will be enough, or better CPU? Or I'm wrong in saying that my GPU is still decent and should change it as well to go pair in pair with new CPU?

Also... RAM... from what I understand the higher the MHZ the slower the CL... is it better to go 3000mhz or a bit slower 2400 but better CL?

Regards :)
