Which component should I upgrade first ?

[Tamer]

Hey Guys, recently I buy a cheap PC ( piece by piece ) in Black Friday sales. My config is:

• MOBO: Gigabyte GA-A320-S2H
• CPU: Ryzen 5 3400G
• GPU: Nvidia 1050 TI 4GB (Gigabyte OC Low Profile)
• RAM: 16GB (2x8) 2400MHZ
• POWER SUPPLY: VS650 80Plus White 650W
• STORAGE: Kingston A400 960GB

I would like to do minor upgrades, especially since next year I would like to buy a 144hz monitor (I play counter-strike, and my fps ranges from 140 ~ 200. I would like this variance to be between 200 ~ 300).

So, what do you recommend me to achieve this performance? RAM with more clock? A better video card? A stronger processor (and consequently, I think, a better MOBO too)?

gpu. Your psu is meh, put your gpu is more meh. Your processor is pretty good.

After gpu your ram. Amd likes to have 3600mhz ram and low latency with it like cl16. Your ram is making your pc run poor.

After that psu and add hdd

Im thinking to buy a RX 590 8GB or a Nvidia 1660 6GB ( same price in my country, at least for now ). With this config did you think ill be able to get the performance that i need to ?

1660. Runs cooler, since rx 590 is overclocked rx 580 with the same cooler than rx 580

And RX 580 are overclocked RX 480 lol.

Considering that what @SavageNeo says is right, ill upgrade my GPU ( and ram) first.

I consider this post solved, but if you want to recommend me gpus ill be apreciated.

Im considering the following list:

• Nvidia 1660 6GB
• Nvidia 1060 6GB
• RX 590 8GB
• RX 580 8GB

I would Upgrade PSU tho. i dont want your system to blew up. CX 550W 2017 is decent

then upgrading gpu to 1660 since it same with 590 price. for GPU i choose Nvidia wcuz it cooler execpt NAVI . cuz for me NAVI is better than RTX.

then your rame to CL16 3666mhz.

@Wolfycapt in benchmark videos that I saw, from 2400 mhz to 3666 there is no big performance gain (there is some gain, but not too much), so Ill upgrade my gpu first.

Talkin about my psu, did u think I need to change it at the same time as my gpu ? Or I can buy a gpu and a few months later buy a new psu ? ( I really didnt know if my psu can be a bottle neck to a 1660 6gb )

not because of performance issue. is about how well the circuit is and stable electricity.

Oh, some people strongly recommended me to buy this PSU ( i was looking for something that has a nice price and a nice performance).

From now Ill make small upgrades every 4~6 months. Probably after I upgrade my GPU Ill upgrade my PSU too.
Assuming my currently config and assuming that ill buy a RX 580 8GB, which psu did you recommend me ?
