Need help balancing pc upgrades

Go to solution Solved by SpiralTTGL,

motherboard doesn't serve to get you more performance ryzen doesn't even overclock well stick with your motherboard, swap the nvme ssd to a regular sata ssd and get 1tb since games aren't getting any smaller, definitely upgrade the power supply but that price seems a little high but whatever, case is up to you and ram is fine but could prob find cheaper at same speed

Ram is a solid upgrade

 

The SSD I would swap out for a sata 2.5" drive so you can get more storage for the same price

 

Definitely don't need 750w either, should be able to get a 550w G2 for ~50$

I do want to upgrade to a 1080 or 1080ti in the future and my cpu to a r7 2700x in the future so I would need a 750w

You still don't need 750w for that

good choice in ssd def one of the top end, ram looks fine aswell, going to want to get atleast a 600- 650w for your future gpu/cpu upgrades, can get higher doesn't really matter other then some power inefficiency at idle

Not really any sense in upgrading that now.  Better off waiting until the main components are upgraded in the future to gauge what psu is needed at that time.
