PC Hardware upgrade

[THEDEATH]

Budget (including currency): My budget is around 500$

Country: Norway

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: This PC is primary a gaming pc, but i like to multi task. Schoolwork, and some light CAD modeling. Games: Valorant, Warzone, GTA, and some new games.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

 

I think the best upgrade for this pc right now is motherboard, cpu and maybe ram. I'm defently going for an AMD cpu, and i dont know if i should go for a PCie 4 or if PCle 3 is good enught for me. Do i need faster RAM? Should i wait for the new amd cpus?

 

Im going to buy a new monitor (1440p 144Hz) on black firday, and i have already a 1080p 144Hz monitor.

 

This is the PC i have now:

You said you have a $500 budget but the PC you listed is about $2500? That i5 is very overpriced too. You can get a 3600 for less than that (USD)

Thats for his upgrades.

The pc i listed is the pc i have right now. The upgrade budget is around 500$.

What is the pros and cons of going with a B550 or X570 insted of a B450? Do i need a B550?

Wait. Ryzen 4000 isn't that far off and you might as well get that. The build you have right now can easily last a few more months.

Nope. PCIe 4.0 is basically useless for most people.

I'd probably get what @Kanna suggested and grabbing a new motherboard, CPU and GPU if possible like a 3600, a B450 and maybe 2070 (don't get anything less powerful thn this otherwise it's likely going to be about the same performance wise as your 1070Ti)

There's no way you can fit all three of those things into his budget, plus buying a video card this close to new releases doesn't make any sense.
