I have a pretty balanced PC.

Amd Ryzen 2400G

Gigabyte Ax370 mobo

Asus gtx 1060

2x8gb crucial ddr4 ram

1x860evo, 1xwd blue

So what should I get next that directly or indirectly improves gaming performance?

  • B550 Aorus Elite V2 Rev1.2
  • G.Skill TridentZ RGB 3600Mhz 32gb (8gb x4)
  • MSI Mech 2X RX6600
  • Deepcool AK620 WH
  • Deepcool CK500 WH
  • Kingston A2000 250gb + WD Blue 1tb HDD, Sn550 1tb + MX500 1000gb
  • Antec EAG Pro 750 80+G
  • Benq Mobiuz EX2510 144Hz

For $50? Maybe a better cooler to overclock your cpu, can't really think of anything else.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Put your CPU on sale for 10-20$ less than average price (to sell it fast) and add 50$ and buy a Ryzen 1600/1700 or 2600 .. depending where you live.

You could buy a cooler for better overclocking or a keyboard. If you saved a little more you could buy a new HDD for more games.
Speaking of games Steam Summer Sales end in a few hours.

I would just save it though. You might have to replace something and that $50 could save your butt.

I posted that yesterday. Thankfully, I was able to download a couple games while they were still on sale last night. 'Onward VR' is incredible, 'Elite dangerous', was disappointing when I realized i'd have to use the keyboard or a game pad and not the Oculus controllers.

Save up, there's nothing much that you can get, being that you already have your m.2 slot occupied.

Books. Buy some books to read like:

 

The seven habits of highly effective people

 

How to win friends and influence people

 

Rich dad poor dad

 

The millionare fastlane

 

The 4-hour workweek

 

 

This was over a month ago, he's likely already spent the $50 dollars on pornography subscriptions

These books have legitimately good info in them, but the titles sound like a clickbait article at the bottom of a fake news website 

That's an F in the profile pic
