Approximate Purchase Date: Unsure, sooner rather than later, but depends on cost
Budget Range: Depends how much needs upgrading from my old system as I feel some of the parts should be good still, so maybe £200-£500 depending on importance of each part to get a smoother system.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming / Videos / Game Recording / Video Editing(Not that important but would be nice)
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: Not sure, this is where I would need the advice. I think the motherboard needs an upgrade, though this may also involve upgrading the CPU...given sockets etc.
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Novatech.co.uk, though I'm happy to try other recommended stores
Location: UK, North-West England - Though for some purchases (depends on size) Atlanta, USA is also possible.
Parts Preferences: I think if CPU is required, Intel is the safer solution, though changing to Intel would ensure a motherboard change and then likely require a RAM change. I like Corsair. Though I'm not particularly "stuck" to a brand.
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments:
I would be happy with performance over quality for gaming, though would be nice to be able to flick on Ultra settings to see the beauty. Games I play tend to be Fallout, Far Cry, Tomb Raider, PUBG, Subnautica(would love to have quality maxed in that game). Sound isn't really a big deal, ideally energy efficient, though I'm not that worried about that.
I'm upgrading because my system seems to be having trouble. Not sure what is causing the dramatic fps lag on Very Low settings in games of PUBG. Also has issues with sound lag,
Sounds coming across (not really sure how to explain the noise) metallic? loud? digital? static? not sure, but it sounds awful when I'm in the lobby area for PUBG (on the island).
I'm not sure if a full rebuild is needed so advice would be massively helpful, hell for all I know it's a PSU issue.
My current hardware:
Mobo: ASRock 970 Extreme 3
CPU: AMD FX 6300 - ~3.5GHz (https://www.novatech.co.uk/products/amd-piledriver-fx-6-six-core-6300-black-edition-3-50ghz-socket-am3plus-processor-retail/fd6300wmhkbox.html)

SSD: 840 EVO SATA 6GBS S 2.5 SSD120GB
SSHD: SEAGATE FIRECUDA 1TB HYBRID (https://www.novatech.co.uk/products/seagate-firecuda-1tb-hybrid-sata-6gbs-3-5-inch-8gb-mlc-ssd/st1000dx002.html)

PSU: CORSIAR TX750 V2 WATT POWER
Tower: Antec Nine Hundred
Sorry if I've missed anything, any advice would be really helpful.
