I'm looking to upgrade my current CPU (r3 1200) which has been overclocked to 3.7GHz. Here is my current build: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/9ptpQZ I want to purchase a used cpu for £100-200 ($100 to $250), however I'm completely unsure whether if would be best to go for a first gen r7(if so which one) or a more recent r5(I believe my mobo is compatible). Any suggestions would be appreciated!
