Hello everyone.

I am currently in the process of upgrading my setup.
I have had the same setup since 2013.

I will be upgrading the following:

CPU - FX6300
GPU - 7870 HD
Mobo - 970A UD3
Drive - 1TB Seagate HDD

I would appreciate some advice on what products to look into.

Now I have funds to upgrade 1 or to at a time.
My budget would probably stretch to £400 for all 4.

Which would you pick first?

I am a casual gamer: Battlefield 1, Fallout etc.
Apart from that it is browsing, and standard office work.

Appreciate your help, many thanks.

Ben.

Well to upgrade the processor to modern day would require a new processor, motherboard, and memory at the same time.
You might be better off saving up the money then selling your PC as is and rebuilding.

As the op stated "My budget would probably stretch to £400 for all 4." Due to a ryzen bundle adding up to around 270 that means only 130 for a gpu. Im just going by the ops budget something you clearly didn't read.

Or just trying to list parts and don't know the performance difference in them.
Spending a 130 bucks or so for a very small upgrade makes no since
