Hive mind, how does this look as a reasonably budget upgrade pack? Couldn't bring my PC back to life and don't want to waste any more time fiddling.

One thing I wasn't sure about - for the same price I can get faster (clock speed) RAM with a higher latency though... Don't know which is more important here.

I have a spare i3 4330 if you fancy second hand? Would let it go for £70. Barely used and with stock cooler. Would leave you most monies for upgrading other parts. It's socket 1150 so you'd need a differnt board, not really sure what the difference is/means?

Thanks for the offer, I'm going to stick with socket 1151 though as it's the most recent (supports DDR4 and skylake) and I want the option to pimp in a year or so... Got 7-8 years out of the last lot!
