I'm currently rocking a rather old 775 platform (L5410 quad core @ 2.33 ghz, Asus P5K, 6GB of slow DDR2 ram), which is now starting to show its age. The computer is primarily used for; browsing the web, gaming, coding and encoding old camcorder footage, all of which could benefit from a platform upgrade.
The rest of my components are as following; AMD R9 270 2GB (stock), Crucial 240GB SSD, Cosair 450W PSU, none of which I'm looking to upgrade at the moment.
In terms of the upgrade, I generally steer towards value and am therefore considering:
I wouldn't mind a new case to put this in, so any recommendations on that front would be a appreciated.

In terms of the upgrade, I generally steer towards value and am therefore considering:
- Ryzen 1600, which I'll being looking to overclock using the stock cooler. I do have a Coolermaster Hyper 412S cooler, but imagine it won't be a lot better than the stock cooler.
- B350 Motherboard of some sort up to ATX form factor.
- 8/16GB DDR4 Ram.
