Hello, everyone!

 

I've been looking into upgrading my aging CPU and I need some help with upgrading but cannot decide on what to purchase.

I have a budget of £550 and am looking to purchase a new CPU, motherboard, RAM, CPU cooler and case.

I would like to go onto the Ryzen platform as I plan on encoding on OBS with my CPU rather than my GPU which I'm using now, which is greatly limiting the games that I can stream.

The case needs to be mATX form factor since I need a small form factor and have room for two extra expansion cards.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance! :D

I say jiggly-bytes when I see "GB".

It goes down better than you would expect.

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

Motherboard: MSI Z97-GD65 Gaming

RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB (1600MHz)

 

My GPU, storage solutions and PSU are more than adequate and so I didn't include them.

That looks quite promising, might go for some stuff like this. Thanks for the help!
