Other details: My current build is:

Nope, should’ve looked up the dutch prices. I don’t need a new GPU only Mobo, ram and cpu, it shouldn’t even be more than €300

well, tbh the answer is quite realistic. for 2-300€ you cant get a better GFX, nor can you update ur processor(cos you´ll need also to upgrade your mobo and your ram) so....

Unless you want to go on the 2nd hand market, there are meager options for you to upgrade rigth now with such a tigth budget.

 

first of all, your gfx(which is exactly the same i have) could be the easier upgrade, but to upgrade it, and go for 1440, you need at least an 1060 6gb, and rx580 8g or some newer cards, all of them go currently over 300€ alone(and only if you can get your hand on them, becouse everything is sold-out).

If you want to upgrade your chip, you need at least 16Gb and it has to be DDR4(instead of your current DDR3)...between 70 and 120€.

You can go either cheap with a ryzen 5 2600(around 150€) or maybe an intel 9400i(around 130€)....

The MOBO could be the cheapest part, maybe 60-80€ could be enough....so make your numbers......

The answer you got could have been wider, but it wasn´t the wrong one.

Long story short: for 300€ you wont go far.
