Hello,

It´s time for me to upgrade my Computer. The PC served me well over the last 7 years but now it struggles in the game i love so much: Path of Exile. I hope u can give me some idea´s and advice for what to buy and get the best bang for €.

Budget: 500€
Location: Germany
Current Setup:
- amd phenom 965
- msi gtx 660 oc
- psu: arctic cooling fusion 550RF
- 120 gb sandisk ssd
- 4 gb 1333 ddr3 kingston 1.6V
Resolution: 1080p
Peripherals: Got everything
OS: If the budget allows for it without gimping on quality parts then ok, otherwise not needed.
Games: Path of exile, Counter Strike, Rocket league, Hearthstone, Witcher 3

I would like to reuse my gtx 660 and wait for the new amd cards to come out and see how well they will perform, so gpu is not in the 500 € budget. I would like to swap to Intel for the reasons we all know: Amd CPU just suck atm. I5 6500 would be nice. Heard of the possibility of oc´ing non k cpu? should i go for a z170 board as skylake is running better on higher ram speed than 2133?
Will need:
- Case (would like something in a clean classy look like the phantecs p400s just not as expensive but should have good airflow too keep everything cool)
- CPU
- DDR4
- Motherboard
- PSU?
- New SSD?

Thanks for ur time, much appreciated
