Well Hello LTT, been a few years since I've been here, but looking to finally upgrade my old computer and get into PC gaming again, I usually only play low intensity games like mordhau/csgo but looking to play higher end games, at the moment I'm on an old i5-4570 with 8gb of ram, and a gtx 1060 3gb, I want to slowly upgrade over the next few months, I was looking to change motherboard/cpu/ram and psu first, could anyone provide a few options as I'm not up to date with current(or last few) gens, thanks

Is that budget only for mobo, cpu, ram, and psu?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm thinking the gpu can hold out for a few more months, think the cpu is the part I need to upgrade most, so yeah I'd say £700 for those parts, and i'll buy a good GPU in a few months
