                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[If anyone was wondering (ha!) I ended up picking up a second hand 1070 Xtreme GPU for £160. Live preview in Blender has gone from 4 minutes to 12 seconds on my test scene, and render time from 37 minutes to 4. So an appreciable difference.

Not tried it with any games yet. 

I may at some point add a more modern CPU / Mobo / RAM, but that'll do me nicely for now.]]></content:encoded>

The numbers are higher but it doesn't really translate directly into more frame per second in games, or faster video rendering.

What I would say is that if you do go for a new build, ryzen do generally offer more bang per buck for your money than the current intel lineup, and they don't switch motherboard sockets every 5 seconds either, which would require a new motherboard.]]></content:encoded>

This is what I would do, I recently upgraded my GPU to a 2nd hand Quadro card on a similar spec PC and it makes a difference - perhaps that would tide you over for a while - if not then time to get a Mobo/CPU/RAM combo another an issue with this is convincing windows install not to un-authenticate.]]></content:encoded>
