What to upgrade?

[Romano390]

Budget (including currency): € 500,- would love to stay at this price range but I could go up to max. 600.

Country: Netherlands

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: High-end games + multiple office programs and some light administration work (excel)

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 current hardware:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 3,6 GHz  - overclocked to 4,0 GHz with stock cooler.

MOBO: MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max

RAM: G.Skill DDR4 Trident-Z 2x8GB 3600MHz CL18 RGB

M.2 SSD:  Intel 660p 1TB - I have 570 GB free space on my M.2

GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700 XT GAMING OC 8G - Slightly overclocked

PSU: Corsair TX550M V2 PSU

Case: Fractal Design Focus G Black

OS: Windows 10 Pro X64

Router: TP-Link Archer C1200

 

So I currently have some money to blow out the window and I like to further upgrade my PC. I'm currently thinking of either upgrading my RAM (2 out of 4 slots are currently filled.) Or getting a 3.5 inch HDD for extra storage.

I am a freelancer so I keep all my administration on a cloud program called pCloud (500GB online storage subscription). 

 

I do all my work on this PC which excist mainly on remote desktop support, running backups, games like Doom Ethernal or playing games on emulators. I occasionally have to run Adobe programs like Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.

I also do some slight work on FL Studio when i feel creative.

If you’re planning on using the new Ryzen 5000 series, a b550 board is definitely a must

if you're not having any performance issues with your current setup, i'd just bank the money tbh..

there's no sense in spending money for the sake of spending money. maybe take the (presumed) wife out for dinner?

Thank you for your reply. Sadly because of COVID19 we're not able to go out for dinner yet. I just like to work a bit on further upgrading my pc to pass the time
