New gaming rig upgrade...?

[Neko Yumi]

Situation : Hello everyone, i am highly considerating to upgrade my rig with the new January sales that are going to happen in belgium. However i am stuck in a weird position.

 

My current storage is kinda starting to show it's wear & lacking storage for AAA titles but i am also having some Intel I5 pain.

 

What would you recommand me to do?

 

( 1 ) Either replace my mobo and CPU to gain performance in games

 

( 2 ) upgrade my storage to include more games and benefit from NVM-E speeds thinking that my I5 should be enough to proceed for a while.. 

 

AIM : Upgrade my current setup to have either faster & more storage or more raw performance in order to play cyberpunk & other AAA titles or even a mix?

 

Monitor : 1920x1080 144Hz 1Ms BenQ 

 

Budget (including currency): Can afford either motherboard + CPU or all storage upgrade or mix in € 

 

Country: Belgium

 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Cyberpunk, COD, Battlefield ... 

 

Current Build :

Intel Core I5 9600K 

16GB RAM HyperX @3200Mhz

x2 WD 1TB HDD

3x 250 GBS SSD 

RTX 2080 XC ( EVGA )

 

Considered to upgrade to : 

Ryzen 7 3700x

Ryzen 9 3900x 

or new ryzen 3 if available at all.

Asus PRIME B550+

Samsung 970 EVO PLUS M.2 

Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1 To

Seagate BarraCuda 1 To (ST1000DM010)

A 2.5" SSD is not much slower than an m.2 much better pricing as well. Something to consider.
