I just bought an OG Titan 6GB cheap for £120 from ebay and it works really well in my current system with an 

AMD FX-8370 @4.00 GHz but I'm wanting to upgrade any advice on what motherboard cpu and ram would be best?

Would you advise a MSI AMD B350M GAMING PRO AM4 mATX Motherboard over the MSI one as it's £55 cheaper so there would be money left over for a 240GB SSD ?

Ah alright didnt notice that the MSI X370 is starting to look like my best option thanks @LukeSavenije

Look on amazon warehouse deals to see if they have any deals on x370 mobos, you can snag then for 60-70GBP quite often.

Do wanna point out to the OP that he may need to do a BIOS flash in order to use the 2600 unless he gets the B450 or X470 board.

new stock 3 series mobo's already have the needed bios. and the only thing you'll be missing in features is storemi. but with the great pricing on 3 series it's a great option i would say. and I chose the Pro carbon specifficly becouse I use the z370 version of it
