Current PC is getting old and slow, a bit like me, but PC can be upgraded. I've made up a small list on pcpartpicker and would like some input. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/vnZbbX Mainly for browsing, gaming and streaming. Games would be mostly GTA, Project Cars, CSGO, and a few other racing games. Power supply, HDD, and GPU are all fairly new and can be swapped over, SSD would be just OS, no real programs I need opening in the blink of an eye. I've never had an issue with AMD and Ryzen seems good enough for me, unlocked CPU would be a waste (I think) because overclocking is not something I've done or really interested in. Would this be good enough for my needs, or any suggestions?

That CPU comes with the wraith stealth cooler included. Remember to enable the XMP profile in the BIOS for the RAM (I assume that RAM will run at 3200 MHz ok as Ryzen memory compatibility is much improved now I believe)

I bought that CPU 8 weeks ago and it was £16 more! But it does come with a decent cooler.

Good to know, thanks to both of you. I will have a look into the memory issues, hopefully they've been fixed by now.
