I have been doing some research and I've realised how much of a fool I was to buy the FX-8350 last year. I've just seen some videos where a Ryzen 3 out performs the FX which to me was quite suprising as the FX on paper seems better (To a noob like me at least).

I was just wondering if someone could make me a Motherboard, CPU and RAM bundle for under £270 becuase I can sell my current bundle for easily £250 on eBay. Thank you so much :D

Current PC specs:
FX-8350 @ 4.0GHz
8GB DDR3 1836 MHz RAM
GTX 1060 3GB
1TB HDD

This is the best I can do:

If the 2200G doesn't work out, buy the Ryzen 3 1200 instead.
