Hello All,
I have a budget of £100 and I want a better processor, a DDR3 processor and a good Motherboard.
These are my specifications

Any help?
My GPU is a Radeon R9 270X

Here is cheaper RAM.

The ram link doesn't work, but that CPU and mobo look fine, are you overclocking?
I am new to this computing topic, so I don't know what "overclocking" means
Also found a new set of ram link :

xSpectreKillertoadxSpectreJust realised that my WAM (WAMMERS) is a DDR2 type, so I will also need help with that.
You'll have to buy more, you'll probably want 8. Although 4 would most likely do fine for you.
Can you push your budget a little higher?
Yes, I can.
I went into research, found a youtube video and found these three links that seem to go towards my budget a little higher.
Do these seem good?

Just added it all up and it goes to £200
Yeah that's not within my budget sadly.

KillertoadxSpectreChrix12You can't really get good CPU + MOBO with just £100.
even a better CPU than 2.20 Ghz?
Clock speed doesn't always matter? It matters more about architecture.
Here is something around 100. It's fast. But I'd rather go intel.

Here is a Intel version, a little over 100, but it's fine. It's a bit slower, but you can upgrade to much higher quality parts with this.

Thanks!
I will talk to my father about this because he knows about this type of stuff, but I always thought the higher the Gigahertz (if spelt correctly) was better.
Thanks again

You can't really get good CPU + MOBO with just £100. One or the other.
You can get good motherboards for <£100, but for CPU it would be FX-8320 or equivalent at best.

I suggest to save up for a better computer.
I have spent almost £400 on my computer, so no.
I only need a better processor (DDR3) and a good motherboard.
