What Parts Do I Upgrade?

 

Hey LTT Community,

I am wanting to upgrade my PC soon with the $300 I have been given. The only problem is, I don’t know what parts are best for me to upgrade. I am primarily using my computer for gaming and streaming at the time. I am streaming Fortnite with 144 FPS on a 1600x900 resolution and 60 FPS. I have a 60hz Dell monitor with 1ms response time. I am pretty satisfied with my peripherals overall though. The main parts I want to look into upgrading my computer parts. The entire list is below:

AMD Ryzen 5 1600

AMD Wraith Cooler

ASRock B350M PRO4 MATX

G.Skill FlareX 16GB 2400MHZ

Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD

ADATA SU800 128GB SSD

EVGA SC 1060 3GB

SeaSonic M12II 620W

Thermaltake V21 MATX Case (kinda scratched and ok condition)

 

If there is any part or peripheral any of you from the community could think of that I could possibly upgrade, the advice is very much appreciated. Thanks!

I don't understand this part:

 

 I am streaming Fortnite with 144 FPS on a 1600x900 resolution and 60 FPS. I have a 60hz Dell monitor with 1ms response time.

I stream Fortnite on Twitch at the time. I stream with an output resolution of 1600x900. My frames dont drop at all when I stream and its capped at 144fps. The monitor thing is different

Try overclocking your memory first. Seems like a waste of money if you already have a decent kit.

When it comes to streaming you have a couple options, you could get yourself a Ryzen 5 3600 and a 2070 or something, and use the GPU to stream with the built in Turing encoder, or you could opt for a 3700X and a 5700 and use traditional CPU encoding. What is your intended budget for the upgrade?

Sorry, but I forgot to mention that my budget is $300 and the Dell monitor is currently down like $180 so now its like $140. But besides that, yeah, thats my budget.
