Hi all, I upgraded my gpu to an rx480 a year or so back but I think it's been held back by my AMD fx6300 cpu so I think an upgrade is in order. I've got a Gigabyte 970 DS3 mobo which is probably a bit rusty now too. Does anyone have any advice for an upgrade for either a compatible cpu which will go with this mobo or a cpu/mobo bundle? I'm looking at a £200-£300 budget and the main games I play are the Total War series and Hitman. Any advice gratefully received.

There is no significant upgrade that you can do with that motherboard. A significant upgrade will require motherboard, CPU and RAM. Adding more cores (FX8xxx CPU) won't improve your gaming. You could improve your cooling and overclock, but that is about it. There are three versions of that motherboard, so you need to look at which revision you have (1.0, 1.1, 3.0) .
