I would definitely look into upgrading your board, RAM, and CPU. What budget are you working with, and what will you be doing with the PC?

yes working with a budget of 400.00

400 USD? Euros? GBP? Assuming it's USD, this is ~$10 over budget but gets you a very strong CPU, reliable board, and 16GB of Fast RAM.

How about this

profoundnoah · Jul 20, 2018

If it runs you about the same price as the setup I provided, then sure. Though it REALLY depends on what you'll be using the PC for. Are you streaming, gaming, rendering, doing 3D modeling, or?

streaming, gaming, rendering,

profoundnoah · Jul 20, 2018

The 1700 then. Definitely the better processor for the tasks.
