What should I upgrade?

[DZONS]

Hello, recently I thought that it is finally time for an upgrade, so I'm turning to you guys for suggestions for what to upgrade, because I'm not quite sure what would be the best and most required upgrade for my current setup. At first I was thinking of upgrading to a 1080ti, but I wasn't too sure if that would be the best move.

Budget - I wouldn't want to spent over 150 euros, maybe i could stretch it to 200,  if after upgrading i'd be able to sell the old part for some money.

Probably good to mention that I don't want to spend too much, I'd like to keep my budget somewhere in the mid range. But I'm open for suggestions.

Give us a maximum budget.  Mid range for you might not be mid range for me.  A budget would help a lot.

For a new GPU you should need at least 240EUR for a RX6600, and the rest of your setup is terrible, you should first upgrade it

First get decent 3200 RAM, 2x8, 50EUR

Then a  1TB Gen3 NVme SSD,  50EUR, get rid of your ewaste SSD  

With what's remaining you can get an used 1070 on a good deal, but they sell rather for 125 to 150, anything below that won't be a good upgrade to your 570

thank you, will look into upgrading ram and the sdd. 

Do you think that the cpu is fine? Can it stay if i upgrade the graphics card, ram, sdd?

It's not e-waste, it's actually fine for a boot drive, windows shouldn;t run any differently on it over an NVMe save for a couple seconds on first boot.  A bigger ssd would be good, but I'd still keep that one for widows so you don't have to re-download all of your games if you need to nuke windows.

This is what I bought for ram and ssd, hopefully i made the right choices.

RAM is fine

Don't know about the Lexar drive, check if you can get a Crucial P3 or WD SN570

IMO 128GB is too small for a boot drive, Windows bloats it with a ton of stuff and you need at least 256GB or have to reinstall Windows twice a year...

Already ordered both the ram and the sdd. I consulted with someone and he said that that sdd will work. 

It probably will be way better than what i am already using. Planning on putting windows and my games on that new sdd.
