Hi, I’m thinking about replacing your motherboard and CPU. With £316, you’re looking for good value for 1080p gaming and video editing. Your current setup has DDR3 RAM, a 550W PSU, a case, and an SSD drive. You want Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built-in on the new board. I’m at Haswell-WS and need advice on the best CPU and motherboard options.

This choice restricts your options significantly, making it unlikely you'll find a good value for the price. Additionally, a separate PCI-E WiFi card is affordable.

It's clear you're looking for a budget-friendly Ryzen processor. The best value option here is the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-core chip, priced at £177.18. Pair it with the MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 motherboard for a solid build, and add Corsair Vengeance LPX memory at £53.98. All costs are listed on Amazon UK, including shipping and taxes. Total comes to £321.15.

I intend to purchase additional units once my setup is complete. I’ll allocate extra funds for the remaining components.
