That why I need a new processor its a i5-7400

An i5-7400 is still fine for playing games @ 1080p60Hz tbh, especially with a GTX 1070.

BabyMacca wrote If you think getting i9 is stupid can you recommend me something else then please I have no clue

and I look on cpubenchmarks.net

Don't use that. Look at actual real world benchmarks from the likes of Anandtech, TPU, HardwareUnboxed, and GamersNexus.
An R9 5900X will trade blows with an i9-10900K in games, but the 5900X will win in pretty much everything else.
A Ryzen 5 5600X retains like 90% of the gaming performance of a 5900X/10900K for about half the cost, so really for a gaming system you should be looking at an R5 5600X IMO.



PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor (£309.98 @ Scan.co.uk)
Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX B550-A GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard (£154.40 @ Alza)
Storage: Sabrent Rocket 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive (£119.99 @ Amazon UK)
Case: Phanteks Eclipse P400A Digital ATX Mid Tower Case (£83.99 @ CCL Computers)
Power Supply: Corsair TXM Gold 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply (£67.97 @ Amazon UK)
Total: £736.33

This is probably where I'd start. Just buy the case and PSU, I wouldn't bother financing those.
Finance the CPU, Mobo, and SSD. If you can manage £100 a month and can get the parts from eBuyer, then you can use Klarna and pay it off in 6 months interest free. If you finance over more than 6 months I think then you'll have to pay interest.

Then, I'd be looking at a monitor upgrade. 1440p144Hz maybe? Safe enough to finance your monitor IMO, and you should be able to easily repay even a 1440p144Hz monitor fairly quickly.

Then either after or alongside monitor upgrade, I would probably consider a GPU upgrade. Again, financing whatever GPU you can manage in your budget should be a fine option.


Cheers bro I could spend alot more than this? Is they a reason why you picked this build see I've been looking at firecuda ssd 520 also does AMD work the same as intel with different chipsets ? or can you use any on any mobo?

Add a 1440p144Hz monitor and £550ish GPU to the list I posted and you'll be between £1500-2000 after you pay off whatever parts you decide to finance. CPU/Mobo, GPU, and Monitor would be the main parts I'd finance.
If you can still spend more than that, you don't really have to. If you want to though, then step the GPU up one tier(e.g. RTX 3070 to 3080), or maybe grab an R9 5900X instead of the R5 5600X.

BabyMacca wrote I've been looking at firecuda ssd 520

If you want a PCIe 4.0 SSD, then you'll probably want to just get an X570 motherboard to be honest. A highend PCIe 3.0 SSD like the Sabrent Rocket I recommended should be more than adequate though.
If you do go for PCIe 4.0, I'd probably look at the Sabrent or Gigabyte offerings instead of Seagate.

BabyMacca wrote also does AMD work the same as intel with different chipsets ? or can you use any on any mobo?

AMD doesn't exactly work the same as Intel with chipsets. Though you can't necessarily use "any on any mobo".

If you're going Ryzen 5000, then you should really be looking at a B550 or X570 motherboard. Maybe B450 if you had a lower budget, but you don't. So in your case, Id stick with the Asus Strix B550 mobo, unless you want to spend a bit more and step up to an Asus Strix X570-F.
If you went Intel, then you should only really be looking at a Z490 motherboard, but I'd honestly have to double check which Intel motherboards are worth buying and which aren't.

I appreciateyour help bro could you find me a intel mobo and cpu i'm gonna have alook at both you see also is they a big differents from ram speeds 2400-3200? I will have a look at the Sabrent or Gigabyte SSDs
