Recommended upgrades ?

[Mandeep Mahay]

Budget (including currency): £300

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: mid tier gaming, Halo MCC, GMod, APEX, Titanfall 2 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Aside from adding an SSD boot drive, i haven't really built or upgraded my computers before.

I have a H110m motherboard. After some research, i found a i7 7700k can fit this socket. I was considering getting a i7 7700k and then when affordable, getting a 1660ti ? 

 

The pc has a i5 7400 at the moment and a 1050ti. 1TB HDD and an added 500gb samsung SSD (960 i believe). 

 

Would upgrading the CPU first be better ? Anything i should be looking out for?

anyway, GPU Price is very spectacular atm, if you intrested on buying new card, be sure to lookout for the price as well as no one can really say how much GPU price atm, it's really bad and you need to regularly check the pricing and stock atm

but should you want to upgrade the CPU I have something for you, get modern one, in socket upgrade for 1151 kind of meh

Yeah, the case is standard! 

 

I noticed the GPU prices have skyrocketed. Hence i don't mind waiting for that. 

 

I'll have a look at the set up you've shown! Looks very affordable! Thank you!
