Hi guys, I'm currently still running my now ancient
I5 2500k at 4.9Ghz
AsRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 Motherboard
Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B 8GB 1600Mhz CL9 DDR3
Lately I feel it's stated to struggle a bit, and have decided to bite the bullet and upgrade all three at once to save hassle in the future, and will use the old kit to build my better half a decent enough machine to run older games such as WoW on.
What is the general consensus on CPU's with a view to gaming? I have a budget of around £450 but can go a bit beyond this depending on the spec.
I have my eye on a I5 8600k but am not decided on motherboard and RAM yet.
Many thanks.
