What should I upgrade next?

[Lucianoinfanti]

So, it has been a while since I build my very first custom PC and now I want to upgrade it. A small disclaimer: I'm not a hardcore gamer and I'm ok with not having top-notch hardware. 

 

This is my current build:

• Case: Thermaltake H34
• CPU: Intel Core i5-6400
• Cooler: T4
• Motherboard: B150m
• Memory: HyperX DDR4 8GB (2x)
• GPU: GTX 1070 Giga Byte G1 Gamming 8GB 
• PSU: XFX 650W TS 80 Gold

 

I'm leaning towards updating my CPU first and possibly get more RAM. I would only get a new motherboard if that's ultimately necessary, otherwise, I would probably keep this one as motherboards are pricey in Brazil. 

 

Which CPU would be a good fit for this build? Should I get 2 more HyperX DDR4 8GB? I'm terrified of compatibility issues.

By the way, I've asked specifically about CPU and memory but I'm open to suggestions! :)

Thanks in advance.

If your just using the pc for gaming your 8 gb of ram should be all good. I would look at upgrading your cpu next although you can get ddr4 ram at decent prices now especially for just another 8gbs.

Watch out for a B450 + R7 2700 deal for sub $200 come Black Friday. I'm almost certain they'll be around.

 

Last year was X370 + R5 1600/R7 1700 for $149.

 

Reuse your ram and/or add another $60 for a decent 16gb kit.

The only good CPUs for that motherboard are the i7 6700/7700, and I highly doubt you'd get good prices on those.

Those are quite expensive indeed but it's good to know they would fit my build. What other motherboard + CPU combo would you recommend?
