I've been using this fx 6300 for a long time but have to say goodbye now. It served me well but its getting realy outdated. I've always planned to do an upgrade but never realy felt like it was crucial, until to this date.

Can you guys help me with picking the right components? I want to switch my system to intel. I was looking at the skylake i5's since it also requires to buy new ddr4 ram. My current ram sticks are the cheapest I could found back then so I realy want to replace them aswell. Same for my motherboard.

My budget is €350. Do you think this is enough to make it or should I save longer?
My graphics card is a gtx 970 btw.

What's the best move I could do at this point?

Wait another week or so for Ryzen 5 to come out and see what that brings to the table ;)

But for the time being this is something you would be looking at > https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/list/9WbkzM

Fresh 8GB Kit of DDR4, Decent budget Motherboard with 4 RAM slots for future upgrade options and a Kaby Lake i5 7500, a good combo for your GTX 970 or any GPU you may upgrade to. Hope this helps :)
