Ryzen upgrade

[scoobydoo10uk2000]

I presently have a asus z87 pro v5 mobo with i5 4670 and 16 gb ddr3 ram and gtx970 gpu. I am going to upgrade to a ryzen but i have a very limited budget. My options are the b450 mobo with either the 2600 or 2700 or thier X variants.  Along with basic ddr4 16gb 2800mhz  Any duggestions would be gratefull on these options.  Ill reuse my case psu and drives so they are not required for the upgrade pricing.   My maxy budget is £230 which ive priced all parts from ebay amazon and CEX.

Most games wont run better with the upgrades you listed. They arent that much faster per core and Ryzen's latency issue stops them from pulling ahead with their core counts. Only really CPU heavy games will you see a difference.

can't really find this very commonly anymore, usually it's either 2666 or 3000. 2800 or 2933 kits would be great for Ryzen if they were available anymore.

Maybe wouldn't apply if they are not the type to OC, but a purchase of the 2666 and OC to 2933 could also do the trick.... That is... if the price jump from 2666 to say 3000 or 3200+ is too large.

I can get ddr4 3000 from CEX For £28 per 8gb strip. I assume not many of you would recomend my choice of cpus then.  Considering my max budget of£230 ehat would be your recomenedations. Thanks.
