How much are you willing to spend on your upgrades in total?

Kind regards

Thank you for your reply!,
I would like to try and keep the processor under 250 without losing processing speed!

Ok so IMO you should buy a i5-7600k and flash ur Mobo for it to work with Kaby Lake.
The i5-7600k is £215.95/$238.75
So that is within your budget

I hope i helped
Kind regards

Why do you keep posting claiming you have different specs each time? Stop wasting people's time.

I know what you mean but maybe the other posts are his potential build, in the one with the i5 he never claimed it was his, he just asked what people thought of it.

Forums/t=7680589/upgrading-graphics-card.html

He said here that he had an i5 and 750W PSU, as well as a 6GB GTX 1050Ti apparently.

Forums/t=7682238/what-do-you-thin...build.html

Then here, the same build basically but he specifies that it's a bronze rated EVGA PSU, and again, said he had an i5. Also, he apparently had a GTX 1070 and he mentions he has a Corsair 100R case.

Now he has an i3 instead of i5, and a 1050Ti instead of 1070 again, and a completely different case, and also now has a 1000W Platinum rated PSU that costs like 3 times as much as the 750W PSU he claimed to own at first. Regardless of whether he has any of these components, he seems to keep changing his mind on what he has, so obviously no one can help him, hence him spamming posts is just wasting people's time.

I am stationed in Japan and the base I am on is right down the roadfrom a local computer store, its very easy for me to sell and buy new parts. I just recently upgraded my psu, overclocked my CPU and still have the same GPU until I upgrade again. I don't see why you have a problem or a problem with me?
