CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 
GPU: Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 // Used GTX 1070

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200mhz 2x8GB

PSU: Corsair RM550x
Mobo: MSI B450 tomahawk max
Storage: Crucial MX500 1TB
Casing: Coolermaster H500 - 360

 

So I've been told that the GTX1070 was not very good for mining and am considering to buy a used unit as it'll perform better than a RX 580. Do correct me if I'm wrong. And I do use Adobe After Effects and Photoshop from time to time. Should I stick with the Crucial or should I opt for a budget M.2 SSD as it has better writing speeds and is better for editing, or should I make the upgrade in the future when I really need it and keep the M.2 slot empty temporarily. These are the specs I'm most likely gonna go with so any suggestions to change parts of the rig would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

It was good for mining. The miningboom is over and the GPU is rather cheao on the used market. Wub 200$ units arent uncommon
