I dont need a mouse, keyboard or monitors.

Currently have a £400 AMD Computer which is working perfectly at the moment, But thinking of getting something more powerful in a few months time.

Any ideas on best?

Want:
Intel Core i7
16gb of ram
Want to use triple monitors and be stable.
Case doesnt really matter, not looking for any flashy LED's really.

Thanks

Whats your current specs, we might be able to take some hardware from that.

Also, what are you planning to do with this PC?

If you're not buying for a few months, this is probably pointless since you should most likely be looking at something like a 390 or 390x by then. Plus, there's no point in wasting money on a rig with parts you're not gonna benefit from tbh, so would be useful to know what you're going to be using the rig for.

Probably dont need an upgrade as it runs nicely as it is, just thinking for future use.

You're so sweet.

OP-If your current rig is fine, then there's no real need to upgrade. You could spend the money on peripherals instead if what you have isn't great. Maybe upgrade your GPU. You could do an Intel switch.
