I'd upgrade your SSD to a decent 1TB NVMe drive like the WD SN750 or Crucial P5 (both of which are frequently on sale). Otherwise the rest of the upgrades are good.

Ok, thank you so much. So I should remove my current SSD once I get a M.2 SDD  correct ? because I know someone else said I should add a HDD as well  but I don't think I personally have the slots for those HDD's to my knowledge in my casing but ill double check but if that SDD is 1 TB, then I think that should be fine because that would be way to much storage.

There is no such thing as way too much storage.

One can never have enough storage.

No need to. You can put backups on your ADATA SSD if you'd like, or use it for miscellaneous storage.

Okay. The GA is still a decent PSU.

Also, if you have 1x8 RAM get a second stick. Make it 2x8 of the same speed.

Okay, sounds good . Thank you and looking to get a m.2 SSD as well

Make sure it's an NVME drive. Some good budget ones would be the A2000, SN550, or A80

Okay, and one more question? Should I just settle for a Ryzen 5 5600x or a Ryzen 7 5800x? In terms of being set for a while
