Upgrade!

Go to solution Solved by rares495,

PSU first. That thing can explode at any moment. RAM + SSD next.

In my previous thread on Laptops and Pre-built systems I discussed the posibility of buying a brand new laptop for video editing, motion graphics and gaming purposes that could out perform my r5 1600 build for under $650. I came to the conclusion that I won't be able to get a good deal for that money (at least in my country) and I also my enthusiasm for PC building is huge. With that being said, I'd like to upgrade my current Ryzen build (small tweaks here and there) so it's more effective in video editing.
This is my current build:

 

The upgrade paths I had in mind were:

 

  • Getting a 2x8gb 3200Mhz CL 16-18-18 RAM kit
  • Upgrading both PSU and v-card
  • Getting an SSD for OS + video and photo editing software
  • Better monitor
  • Changing my PSU for something more reliable before going ahead with all the upgrades

Which one should I go for first?

Any PSU suggestions? My budget atm is around $100.
