Upgrading my 10 year old PC, need a spec.

[MeThatsAll]

Currently i have 16gb ddr2 ram,
NVIDIA Geforce GTX 770 Graphics Card
Intel core i5 3.4k Ghz
my hard drive i will move into the new one, i have a 500GB solid state drive and 2 TB HDD
keyboard mouse monitors I'm good on as well.
So it'll be case, motherboard, ram, graphic cards, processor, audio card( I guess?) and anything else that I'm forgetting.
Budget is kinda £1000 give or take, reasonably flexible on price depending on the options.
I've been seeing good things about the new AMD processors so i was considering trying them out if people agree?

Thank you

A very good point! I knew I had forgotten something lol
Thanks for the build
I had AMD years ago and hated it, had loads of problems with it but I hear they've really come on.

Was thinking Nvida for graphics card, would it be ok to swap in a different card while keeping everything else the same?

Thanks.

I bought this build plus a slightly different graphics card and put it together today.
I'm getting the DRAM light come on and stay on and no screen showing. Have you any ideas why?

Thanks.

 

[Lemin]

Make sure ram is in slots right. You must push it in really hard sometimes.

 

[Lemin]

Try one stick of RAM at a time in different slots

 

[Lemin]

how is it going
