I need help upgrading my pc. Currently I have these specs:
Amd Athlon x4 880k 4 ghz
Gtx 1050 2gb
16 gb ram
1tb ssd
500gb hdd
There is four fans in my pc and l have a budget of £600, I would like to upgrade my cpu and graphics card the most but in order to upgrade my processor I need a new mother board as I only have a F2A78M-HD2. I’m also not sure if I have a good enough psu (let’s assume I don’t)

That is the best your going to get on FM2+ but you should be able to sell the CPU/MB/RAM/GPU and get a decent recoup off a upgrade.

Total: £576.85

I just finished a build with close to the same parts, the 1600 took a 4ghz OC on the stock cooler and everything runs surprisingly well. A i5 8600 gives you a little more fps in some titles especially older ones but that is also @ a larger cost for the CPU and Motherboard.
