What's your max budget? Do you need a keyboard, mouse or monitor?

£1000 tops would rather not go over no peripherals

maaaybe a more powerful cpu for that gpu?

it might bottleneck cpu intensive games

 

i recommend skylake if you're gaming

Could you make a build? I would like a nice GPU though! NVDIA if possible if not AMD

1) changed to skylake cpu for better gaming performance

2) overclocking motherboard so you can upgrade to an overclocking chip in the future if you want to, if not, get a cheaper board

3) changed to DDR4 to match the rest

4) changed your psu to a better one

 

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately
