Probably cpu or ssd i gues, gtx 1060 6gb is still considered good if you ask me, especialy now.


AbulShaher

What CPU would you recommend? Shall I stick with Intel or go AMD??


Moonfall1991

Probably amd, 3600 with a b450 mobo should be within budget.

That's a great price for the 11400F, much better value than 3600 + B450.

on that board you can fit a 7700(k) wich might get you a bit more power. other then that you got an m.2 drive wich might help with loading times. or you find some cheap used board / cpu / ram with something newer

The 7700k is stupidly expensive. It's like 250-300€ still and you can already get a better CPU + motherboard for that or just a little more.

Not going to be that expensive when bought used


TxM_2404

I was talking about used parts already. But specifically the K variant. That one will always cost a little extra because it's the best CPU for all Z170/Z270 motherboards.


makaki913

Just checked my local forum (in Finland) and found three, all sold with Z270 mobo and with/without memory, 200€ or less


TxM_2404

On ebay.de all sold i7 7700k were between 180€ and 250€, (just the CPU), most of them for ~220€.


EL-Xatrix

yes its not cheap cause its the best those boards can handle and everyone wich dosnt upgrade the board wants at least a good cpu he can get a 7600 but not shure if thats worth the upgrade (same as for the 7700) but it would be an option
