how about a video where you fly over some broke-a@@ed Brit and build him a new pc to replace his crappy AMD FX build??????

i'm thinking 1660 super (hopefully in january, if my latest pet doesn't grow out of his clothes!!!!   lol)
might be all i can do to this build, besides overclocking the nuts out of the cpu!!!!
 

i saved..... then my latest little devil child was released on the world... going to have to learn to cross my legs while i save!!!!!    lol

That made me laugh, good luck! ?

full rebuild is going to have to be bought a piece at a time, with a couple of months between parts (to save up again! lol) the kinda specs i'm looking towards is gonna cost me around 1.5 to 2 grand! once i'm out of options for current machine, it will become my son's first gaming rig. i realise that there's not much i can do with an AM3+ board... once i've got every ounce of speed and quality out of this machine (with small upgrades and overclocks) i will start looking at a fresh build

The way I look at it, you've got to upgrade the GPU at some point anyways, which order you upgrade the CPU or GPU in really doesn't matter. If you can afford to get the GPU but not the CPU/mobo combo, then do that first and save for the CPU. 1650 Super or probably the RX 5500 (supposed to be AIB ones soon-ish) would be good on the lowest end, 1660 Super/1660 Ti are excellent for 1080p or 1440p60, anything higher is just more icing on the cake. 

I understand, I'm just saying it might be better to hold on to the money until a new processor/board/memory is within reach. Other upgrades aren't going to really improve performance until you replace that chip.
 
You could also definitely mitigate a good chunk of the cost if you resell your existing stuff on eBay once you swap it out. 

fair point.. cheers

runs most of my games fairly well (granted, i get a bit bored of them running slower than they should on high settings.... but they look awesome!!!!!)

my next purchases are 
ViewSonic VX2458-C-MHD curved gaming monitor and Seagate ST1000DX002 FireCuda 1 TB internal hybrid hard drive
just over £200 for the 2... that's my christmas budget maxed out!!!
 
then looking at gpu in the new year
 

thanks... even better, the gpu psu (corsair 750) and half the ram were all free.... payment for rebuilding people's ne computers!!!!

Good morning to you, fellow Brit!  It's a sunny morning/afternoon here in Scotland as well, excellent start to the day. I like to spend my free time listening to music, playing with my computer both on the inside and the outside, hanging out on social media, and going out with friends on bright days out!
