My new upgrade

[Whistlinghook]

Trying to upgrade and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations to help out so I get the best value for my money?

 

 

 

Living in the uk and on a tight ish budget between £600-£800.

 

My whole goal is to upgrade so I can use it for gaming.

 

planning to run 2-3 monitors 

 

No need for peripherals 

 

here is my current set up. (VERY outdated) 

Operating System
 Windows 10 Home 64-bit
CPU
 Intel Core i3 3220 @ 3.30GHz 
 Ivy Bridge 22nm Technology
RAM
 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz 
Motherboard
 Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. H61MA (Intel Core i3-3220 CPU @ 3.30GHz) 
Graphics
 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 (MSI) 

 

I'm planning on upgrading to a 

 

intel - core i7-7700k

 

MSI H270M BAZOOKA micro atx motherboard 

 

and a radeon RX 48- Dual oc video card

 

with additional upgrades such as ram

 

 

Suggestions needed.

I'd get a r7 1700X instead of a 7700K and rx 480 ( I'm guessing that's what rx 48- is ) is a ridiculous price right now due to Mining

Sounds good to me make sure to get AT LEAST 16 GB ram also hard to read

Sorry if it was hard to read my first post here and wont the I7 perform better gaming than a ryzen chip?

He needs two cards because he could be running 3 monitors like he said I would wait till a sale or mining  Popularity is down

R5 1600 + GTX 1080 would be my suggestion.

Yes a i7 7700k would perform better but if it was me I would wait for coffee lake which should come out later this year

Yes, a 7700k is better for pure gaming. A Ryzen is better for productivity and multitasking.

Depends on the workload. For gaming the I7 would be about 5-10% faster but if you ever want to do video editing or stuff like that the r7 is better
