Hi all,

I’ve had some very useful recommendations from the community for an upgrade and just want to make a final decision!

My current build: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Lqfnnp

Recommendation 1: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/bzjWXR - £413

Recommendation 2: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/w7Qccx - £252

I am mainly looking for smooth competitive fps on low settings at 1080p for black ops 6, FC 25, Rust and CS2. I’d be hoping to achieve a solid 170-200 fps on black ops 6 at low settings 1080p. I would want to upgrade to 32GB RAM from 16GB as I feel as though 16GB isn’t pulling its weight anymore. I also feel I would benefit greatly from a wifi mobo but happy to take advice on whether this is worth investing in! I’m also not really looking for a future long-term build for the next 5-6 years just something to keep me going for the next few years with strong performance at low graphics on most games!

Would the FPS performance upgrade between the two recommended builds for short term future gaming be significant enough to be worth the extra investment for number 1 or would number 2 cover my gaming needs, mainly for black ops 6 low settings 1080p? I’m leaning more towards the 5600 build but want to be sure this can meet my gaming needs/wants!

Also, with Black Friday/Cyber Monday starting soon, when would be the best time to buy?

Happy to take on board any other recommendations or suggestions!

Thanks!
