    Need some help with upgrades

    Hello guys,

    My setup atm is as follows:
    CPU: Intel Core i5 4460 @ 3.2GHz, Turbo to 3.4GHZ
    GPU: MSI Radeon Gaming X RX 480 8GB
    Motherboard: MSI H97 Gaming 3
    RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3-1600MHz 2x4GB

    And since Antorus that raiding 20-25 can dip me as low as 28 FPS but usually I'm raiding around 35ish FPS, changing settings to low medium or high doesn't make much of a difference. So I figured I should probably get another CPU and trying to raid at around 50 ish FPS, money is short tho and I'm depended on selling some older parts I have at home. So here we goes with the list:

    Budget: 450 euros tops
    Resolution: 1080p (later on I plan on buying another 1080p so I be browsing internet / twitch while I play)
    Games / Settings Desired: WoW, Diablo 3, Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm, Starcraft 2, Doom, Battlefield 4. Ultra for most games which is what I'm playing atm with WoW being the exception.
    Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc): Streaming Gaming
    Country: Portugal
    Parts that can be reused: No, except for RAM which I already got an eye on.
    Do you need an OS? No
    Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)? No

    So here are my 3 top pics:

    Option 1
    CPU: i5 8600k (276,9)
    Mobo: Motherboard ATX MSI z370 Gaming Plus (120,05)
    Ram: Kingston Hyper X Fury 8GB DDR4 2400 2X288 CL15 (65)used
    Total: 461,95 euros

    Option 2
    CPU: Ryzen 5 1600x (223,63)
    Mobo: Motherboard ATX MSI B350 Gaming Plus (89,9)
    Ram: Kingston Hyper X Fury 8GB DDR4 2400 2X288 CL15 (65) used
    Total: 378,53

    Option 3
    CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 (203,2)
    Mobo: Motherboard ATX MSI B350 Gaming Plus (89,9)
    Ram: Kingston Hyper X Fury 8GB DDR4 2400 2X288 CL15 (65) used
    Total: 358,1


    Which one would you go for, specialy for WoW?

    Thanks in advance for the help

    Since you play WoW go for the I5 and maybe spend 30€ more and get 3000-3200Mhz Ram.
