Sinatra · Dec 5, 2015

Hey everybody.
I've finally decided on my budget for a new PC.

My MAX price for new components is £650

My current specs:
CPU: AMD FX-6350
MOBO: asus m5a97 le r2.0
Memory: 16gb dual channel ddr3 1866MHz
GPU: AMD R9 270X OC
PSU: 550W Super Flower 80+Gold

i'm aware i need to upgrade my mobo, psu etc so can you guys please suggest me a new build?
Thanks <3

Suggestion: Upgrade the GPU of your current build, if you're not happy then build a new one and put the GPU in the new build.

Think this is the best possible build at 650 GBP and It's quite good on all departments! Just missing that SSD and aftermarket CPU Cooler.

ok, So you want me to downgrade my memory, to 8gb from 16gb?
and i don't want to upgrade my case, the case is fine.
so removing the Case and the Memory is necessary

Ok so I thought you needed a new FULL build. It really helps if you can be as specific as possible so this confusion is avoided.

Based on my research this motherboard is similar to the Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 3 but with better audio capacitors. It is great performance what you get for the price basically.
