Hey, i have a question about what parts to pick and upgrade to,
so i live in a lil ol' 3rd world country, i have a 9-5 job , i make about $535 off my 9-5 job, and and $125, and i spend about $300 monthly
that leaves me with around $360 of savings each month.

 

Now i want to upgrade my PC i currently have a i7-3770K with 16GB DDR3 RAM OMEGALUL, and a GTX 1660 Super. 
i need this upgrade to be able to handle stuff at the same time, 
the upgrade options i thought of are basically these 3:

Option 1: (im not sure how well a b450 motherboard will handle that CPU)
CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 5800X : $700.62
RAM : 16 GB 16x1 3200MHz : $134.69
Mobo : MSI B450M-A PRO MAX : $112.05
Total : $947.37 USD

Option 2:

CPU + Mobo Combo : AMD Ryzen 7 5800X + MSI X570 GAMING PLUS : $959.82 (offers a 40$ discount as opposed to sold seperately)
RAM : 16 GB 16x1 3200MHz : $134.69

Total $1094.51 USD

Option 3:  
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 : $304.47
RAM : 16 GB 16x1 3200MHz : $
134.69
Mobo : MSI B450M-A PRO MAX : $112.05

Total : $559.14 USD

the reason i chose a single 16GB ram is however long it takes me to save up for this, the immediate next month i'm buying another 16gb ram stick, leaving room for upgrade to 64GB if i feel like i need it in the future
lets just say i have 0$ in savings right now, which one should i aim for, and if you have any suggestions of different builds other than these let me know, i'm not looking to upgrade the GPU tho
thanks for reading through.

Compared to option 1 this is better.

 

Also, never buy single channel ram. Go for a 2x8 kit

yeah, shipping $60 + import fees $171 will hike that price up by a lot
its up to $912.50 to get it here
i'd rather pay an extra $100 and get it locally without all the added internation shipping + warranty issues
