Hey, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post my questioin but it was the closest I could think of.

 

These are all the current componenents of my pc.

If I was to upgrade one thing on it, what would you reccomend I upgrade first? I was thinking about the gpu but with the current situation it is impossible to do that.

Sould I wait for things to get a bit back to normal or is there anything else that needs upgrading first?

 

I use my PC for gaming (overwatch & apex) and for photo and video editing.

I would say a graphics card of course, but even a 1650 is a lucky find for a reasonable price. If you can find one, go for it. A better motherboard is always an option, but a B450 is... fine for your application. Really I would spring for more RAM if you just want to feel like you’re doing your computer a favor.

What graphics card do you currently have?

 

Maybe it is better to keep your current one instead of spending over 450$ on a GTX 1650
