Hello, just wanted to ask which upgrade would be the best for my budget?

a Z270-A with a i5-7600k and 16gb 3000Mhz Ram or

a Z370-P With a i5-8600k and 8gb 3466Mhz Ram and just buy another 8gb ram later on?

I mainly play cs:go only. (if that makes any diffrence)

Thanks.

gpu

then the z370 with a i5 8600k and 16gb of 2666mhz or something around that (2x8G, never go 4G)

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

Get the 8600K, no question. MUCH better CPU than the 7600K.

 

8GB of ram is not great, but for CSGO should be enough. And you can add 8GB of ram later on when you can afford it.

 

Also, why spend more on 3466 MHZ ram? Just get 2400Mhz or 2666Mhz, should be good enough.
