Hey folks. Saved some funds and decided to maybe upgrade my PC if its worth it. Im not really in rush so i could wait till next gen ryzens with no problem. About budget it really depends how big upgrade it would be, my actual build allows me to play every single game i want to but lets say maximum of 1500 dollars. Keep in mind that im EU guy so prices on all components are pretty much + 20%  Example Ryzen 5 3600 on amazon is atm 174,99$ but in my country cheapest is 210,16$. Ill propably shop in "Morele.net" or "X-kom.pl"

Actual build:
Case : Corsair 780t
Gpu : Gtx 1070 asus strix oc
Cpu : Ryzen 5 2600 - stock
Cpu cooler : Arctic freezer esports edition double fan
MOBO MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC
Memory : G.Skill DDR4 Aegis 2x8GB 3000Mhz

SSD : ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro M.2 NVME 512GB
PSU : Seasonic focus 650w platinum
Screen : AOC C24G1 24

Must to change : 
definetly second screen doesnt have to be "gaming" 144 hz etc, smaller case for sure was thinkin about fractal design r6, i guess double the ram, cpu cooler i was always hyped about watercooling but might buy Noctua but its propably not worth since i always use stock settings. Definetly bigger ssd or hdd. Cherry on top - RGB disco fans for the case.

Welcome to the forum!

A few things about your post:

  • I don't know a single country that uses "bucks" as a currency. Provide your currency, otherwise no one can really help you.
  • Don't use dollars unless your country uses dollars, and specify which it is.
  • Prices are not as simple as adding 20%, and on top of that product availability varies from country to country. Provide the country closes to you in PCPartPicker, or websites you'll be shopping from.

As for your question:

  • Definitely wait, you're not going to gain enough by upgrading now.
  • Why do you want to upgrade if you can already play everything you want? Wait until you can't, otherwise you're spending money for no reason.

a 650w PSU is def abit overkill, wouldve been worth going for something more efficent then more power, but if you've already bought it thats no problem

I got it for cheap used with still few years of warranty. I heard seasonic is quality and platinum is good enough. I am a total noob in terms of pc parts.

Of course, how else do they sell new items?

You didn't change the fact you used USD when you don't live in the US ;) Their pricing isn't relevant to you.
