My current pc is very old and outdated however my RAM and GPU is new since i upgraded, i play competitive games and i just look for stable fps with low/mid graphics (around 144 fps) i need new everything apart from the gpu and ram, im not that great and up to date at building pcs Help!

#

Currently got 16gb ddr4 and a rx 570

#

The games that i play are mostly cpu based

that's what I got it hasn't not let me down👍
it can go up to 128 gb and go for a AMD Ryzen™ 7 7700X £296.99 Save yourself a bit of money do not go for the ryzen 9 if you're only playing games browsing the internet
