Hey all,

 

 

 

So I'm looking at an upgrade from my trusty but ancient i5 4570.

 

Currently paired with a Gigabyte Z97p-d3 mobo, 16gb DDR3 RAM and RX6600 video card .

 

What I'm considering:

 

 

 

My questions please:

 

  • Decent enough mobo?
  • 16gb DDR5 RAM more than sufficient? Do I even really need to go to DDR5 - would DDR4 do if I get a better mobo?

 

 

I'm not a "gamer" at all - generally some Word of Tanks, Stellaris, Civ 6, that kind of thing. Although my son has started playing Battlefield 1 again and says my system struggles a bit.

 

 

 

Any advice greatly appreciated thanks (budget is $600 - $650).
