I discovered two desktop computers – the initial one is: https://www.awd-it.co.uk/awd-strong...piry=1563906268&source=webgains&siteid=116019. My plan was to improve my system by replacing the motherboard with a B450M and installing 2x4GB of 3000MHz RAM, along with a 1TB Seagate hard drive. This would cost approximately £632. However, I’m curious about whether the second option might be a superior choice: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/aw...ee...wd-3201923. I’m hoping someone can offer guidance and assistance, thank you.
The more costly alternative offers superior performance thanks to its accessible motherboard and quicker memory—a notable enhancement.
However, considering finances, a simpler configuration would still be a solid choice, even if it’s slightly pricier; you'd receive superior components overall.
This selection would be ideally suited for a high-resolution 1080p or ultra-wide 1080p setup.

I’m seeking advice on selecting a graphics card, specifically considering whether an RX 580 or a GTX equivalent would be a more suitable choice. My primary goal is to use my PC for gaming, focusing on titles such as Call of Duty and World of Warcraft. I’m also looking for a pre-built solution rather than assembling one myself, and would appreciate your recommendations.
The A320 is suitable for users who don't want to push their system beyond its standard speeds, however upgrading the memory to a 3000MHz configuration could result in approximately a 15-frame rate improvement. Considering World of Warcraft performs slightly better with Nvidia graphics cards, a GTX 1070 would likely be the superior choice overall. If overclocking isn’t a priority, an i5-9400F processor would also be a viable option.

If motherboard makers continue to release BIOS updates, their boards will likely be compatible with both 3rd generation (2019) and 4th generation (2020) Ryzen processors.
