So I've had my PC for a while (with the exception of my GPU as that was recently purchased) and im thinking of going down the ryzen 5 line of CPU's. its mainly used for gaming and more recently streaming.
at the moment it plays most games such as Forza Motorsport 7,Forza horizon 3, Mad Max, Star wars BF2, on high 1080p settings between 50-80fps and a solid 60 on Battlefield 3,4 and hardline however for some reason only runs at 25-30fps on Battlefield 1.
Im currently using 2 60 herts monitors looking to upgrade my main monitor to 144hz at somepoint in the next few months.
im also from the UK and my budget is somewhere between £450-550 (all parts will be ordered from amazon)
Although my PC knowledge is is good (fixing and diagnosing problems) i still prefer second opinions for gaming related subjects as its not my area of expertise. Any help / advice would be appreciated.
(this is also my first post on the forums so sorry if i have missed anything out.)
