cheap upgrades?

Go to solution Solved by MrHoliday,

You only have 4GB of Ram? Wow... you can get 16GB for cheap these days.

 

Also Ryzen 5 2600 runs for barely over $100, sure you'll need to upgrade your motherboard as well... but for around $200 you can probably upgrade ram, cpu and motherboard.

as you can see from the picture i have the

cooler master q300p with 3 fans all 120mm of which 2 are rgb

asrock steel legened b450m

i have a ryzen 5 1500x (not overclocked)

amd wraith spire cooler 

gigabite gtx 970 (recently bought) also not over clocked

pny 240gb ssd (will be buying in the future a nvme to store my windows on and seperate ssds for data)

4gb of ddr4 ballistix sport lt 2400mhz ram

corsair vs550 powersupply (not modular)

 

i was looking for advice on getting my build to its maximum capability and also wondered how to get my airflow better or buy pwm fans
