What parts of my PC should I upgrade?

BigRecoiilz

Budget (including currency): $180-$250 (Try to stay under $250)

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Streaming @1080p@60fps: Warzone, Shadow of the Tomb Raider (All Ultra settings @1080p), GTA V (All Ultra settings @4k or @1080p if needed), World of Warships (All ultra settings @4k or @1080p if needed)

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

 

I don't need the graphics card updated, just anything else that I could benefit from an upgrade would be nice to know.

 

Part List:

GPU: AMD ASUS RX6600XT @2700MHz Core, @2200MHz Memory

 

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390UD (Would really like to upgrade this to a white 1151 mobo, mainly for aesthetics and better VRM cooling for potentially higher CPU clocks.

  • D: ADATA SU625 240GB SATA SSD

Get a decent 1TB NVMe drive. Use the SSD Tier list

 

 

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Couldn't I just get the cheapest 1TB SSD i can find on PcPartPicker? Speeds of it really doesn't matter to me.

You could, nothing wrong with doing so. My only thought is that when you upgrade the cpu and motherboard a decent drive may be worth reusing.
