THICC MEMES

I need some advice on what my next upgrade should be.  I was thinking probably faster ram.  And in the future when i upgrade my processor and motherboard, should i stick with amd, or switch to intel?  Thanks!  *The PC is for gaming and streaming*

I would say upgrading your CPU and RAM might be the best option depending on your usage.

B350 is still supported by RYZEN 3000.

I agree, although, I would go with a 2600X. you still get more cores and threads but at a lower price than the Ryzen 3000 series. even though the ryzen 3000 sill support b350

Aurora:

CPU- Ryzen 2600X

GPU- MSI GTX 980ti Sapphire RX 480 4gb

RAM- 8gb

PSU- EVGA GQ 650 Watt

Motherboard- MSI X470 gaming pro

Case- Thermaltake View 21

Storage- a couple of HDDs I had around
