Upgrade or nah

[Kochen]

I currently have an i3 8100 and GTX 1050 Ti 

 

Wanna go AMD for the future, and I saw Ryzen's (not so new now) Ryzen 5 1600 AF CPU. 

 

I was going to acquire 16 gb of ddr4 3200 mhz ram. 

 

Would the upgrade in the CPU department be too minimal to be worth it, should i wait till i can buy ryzen 5 3600? How about the ryzen 5 2600? Or is it actually a decent upgrade in regards to my GPU? 

I was looking at the ASUS PRIME B450-PLUS to go with it. I am not one to spend too much on my PC.

If between a 2600 and a 1600AF, just get the 1600AF.

If you're considering a 3600, just wait for the 4600.

If you're just playing at 1080p60, you're likely just fine with the 1600AF.

I would upgrade the GPU to a 1660s instead.

I would wait, because since the new consoles will have a 8 cores Ryzen CPU maybe 6 cores won't be the sweet spot anymore in a year or two.

PSU becomes important because of that 1050ti.  It runs off motherboard power.  Bigger cards take additional cables and you have to start worrying about PSU size.

Okay thanks. 
I guess ill just stay with this for now. 

If I have a z370 mobo but i acquire an i5 9400f. Does the mhz on the ram cap at 2666 as the CPU cap is, or can i OC it to 3200? 

Is the ram speed limited by the cap of the mobo or the CPU? And if so, would it be better to go for CPU upgrade or a 1650 super upgrade?

if you are mostly gaming then upgrade the GPU first since your i3 8100 can drive some contemporary GPUs and after that you can think for upgrading the rest of your rig
