Apparently the 6 core R5 CPUs will be between $230 to $270,so unless the exchange rates get worse it would be around £230 to £270.
I would say the Core i5 7600K is probably a better choice if you tend to play games which are more limited by single core performance,ie,all those running with the 10th revision of an already outdated engine like FO4 and Skyrim.
Edit!!
Also what graphics card do you have - with the RX580 being launched next month,there are some great deals to be had on the RX480 8GB too.
