So yesterday I smashed my case, so I decided what better time to buy new parts (out of my own money) 

1. I'm going to sell my 12 GB ddr3 ram, my Hm81m-s2h, and my i5-4460. Bare in mind I hope to get 150+ euro out of selling the parts

2. Buy a new PC case so guys I need help with that

3. For my parts I'm willing to spend around 350-380 euro (I want to get ddr4 if possible)

Also I'm getting a job which pays 6 euro(I think) @10 hours a week= 60 euro a week (excluding tax) so I'm gonna have some extra money along with my sold parts to upgrade.

So folks get cracking in helping me

work and earn some money and buy at black friday (last friday of november) to maximise cost vs performance

as with case looks are suggestive and also depends on budget, someone might suggest a case you become unhappy with.. better to find your own from some suggestions

also the budget doesn't seem like you are going to get a much more powerful computer.. a new i5 or ryzen 5 is basically most your budget at over 200 euro..

buy a case (why did you smash the last one?) and use the hardware you have and buy a better gpu at black friday sale after you have saved up some money

 

Have you tried to perform a sudden temporary interrupt of the electricity flow to your computational device followed by a re-initialization procedure of the central processing unit and associated components?

just get a new case, you won't get a better pc, rather the opposite with that budget so it will be throwing money into the fireplace

Just take about 100 euros of your budget and buy a new case. Don't bother selling your i5, no point. You're looking at 450+ euros for a reasonable CPU upgrade.

As @Sanctorum said though, you may be better off sticking with what you have right now. Buy a new case, maybe a new psu depending on the model, and maybe an ssd.

Theoretically you could probably live with that though, as long as you don't need that SATA port.

 

Could I use something like UK prices for a parts list?

Sure the budget may be smaller because of conversion

I think that usually pc part prices are a bit overpriced in Ireland though.

 

If you know of a website that does have parts for decent prices I'm happy to use that instead.

Well what parts are u thinking off

keep cpu, mobo, ram. Get a 1050 or 1050 ti, new case, psu, and an ssd.

 

Maybe even a 1060 3gb but probably not because of prices.
