What to upgrade next in my PC?

[zaidh99]

I am not really experienced in the PC building thing I know stuff but I dont know what works with what and what is the most important to upgrade next.
So my PC specs rn is:
GPU: GTX 1050ti 4GB
CPU Ryzen 3 1300x
Ram: 8GB DDR4
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING
there is no SSD. Yeah that's it I think, I use the PC for gaming (PUBG,GTA V, R6, LOL, looking to get new COD )and one program for studying (AutoCAD)

Get a large SSD. At least 512GB. You'll be blown away by the difference it makes, especially for games like GTA V.

SSD first then. what memory kit are you running?

Do I really need this much or 480GB would do the work?

1x8

You'll need as much storage as you need to install your games. If you plan to install Windows on it, get one much larger than you need. Software installers are annoying and try installing to the C drive without asking (usually large applications). I reccomend 512GB, especially if you plan to install Visual Studio with more than 2 or 3 frameworks.

That's not ideal for Ryzen, or for gaming in general. I suggest 2x8GB of DDR4 3000, or 2x4 if your current amount suits you.

ah well wording thing. What you call memory card is imo SD cards and SODIMM for laptops only. It's a stick for desktop, which the entire package from whoever you bought from is known as a kit.

 

At 1x8gb you can either get another stick for dual channel, or a 2 stick kit rated for higher frequency say 3000MHz.

 

what board is this?

So if I am getting a new 8GB Ram should I get it 2x4 and 3000?

Yes, it'll give you quite the memory bandwidth increase.

Yeah my bad I just miss phrased it it's ram, you think I should get 2x4 3000add on my already one 
The board as in motherboard right ?  sorry 
It is ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING

Okay thank you.

if you add on your current stick, it's likely that your current stick wont run stable at that high frequency hence wasting the high frequency kit. dont do that unless you verify the current stick's potential by overclocking it for real

I dont actually know anything about overclocking

then dont do that. High frequency kits are basically factory verified overclocking

So I should stick to 1x8 2400 ?

best option is of course, get 2x8gb 3000MHz or higher frequency. Otherwise, I'd say you should improve in frequency and stick to the same capacity by not using the 2400MHz stick since performance gain from frequency and dual channel is noticeable.

So upgrading the speed is better than adding extra 8GB(16GB in total) to the RAM?

yes imo. Just manage your RAM use to not get too close to 8GB and risk running out of it.
