I'm currently running an old X2 550BE (unlocked to use 4 cores) with a Radeon HD7850.
It's time to upgrade CPU, motherboard, CPU cooler and Ram but I'm well out of the loop and could do with some help with the new spec.
The main reason for the upgrade is to run iracing better as it's showing signs of being CPU limited.
Budget is flexible, but £3-400 is the ballpark I'd prefer it to fall into. I don't need the ultimate, just something that'll last me the next 3-4 years and gives the best bang for my buck.
Micro atx is preferable. I'll overclock if it can be done quickly and without compromising stability.
I am keen to keep the PC relatively quiet so I'm happy to spend on a decent cooler.
I'll be reusing case, Samsung ssd, 430w antec PSU and the HD7850 for the moment. They will probably get upgraded next year.
Thanks for any help.
