your existing system looks excellent, not sure i'd upgrade much.

if you're getting close to 100% ram utilisation when editing, maybe adding another 2x8gb would be an upgrade option.

otherwise, you have a very strong system and gpu prices are extremely overpriced now, so it's not worth it spending your saved money on one until the prices come down.

I think you should get a 3600MHz kit of ram instead of 3200. There isn't a huge price difference but Ryzen CPU's live for that. I also think you should get a WD SN550 NVME SSD instead of a SATA SSD. It is faster, and normally more redundant.

Whats the problem with the system right now? I don't see anything needing an upgrade as it's still a top of the line system.

I was getting mics and headphones for the setup for streaming wasn't sure if any of my system parts needed a update.

I don't see any need for an upgrade for streaming on this system.
