Upgrading pc

[Zeus1124]

I bought my PC as a prebuilt from iBuyPower back in 2021 when gpu's were really expensive. 

There have been a a few games I've played where I would have liked to be able to run higher settings so Ive been thinking of upgrading my GPU. Also been wanting to increase ram to 32gb but am wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade to ddr5. I also want to get rid of my hdd storage in favor of another ssd. Im also wondering if it would be worth upgrading my CPU. And if I were to upgrade those things would I need a new psu.

 

I'm mainly just wondering if now is a good time to upgrade and if anyone has any suggestions. I don't have a strict budget but I don't want to spend an insane amount.

AM4 / Ryzen 1000-5000 does not support DDR5, your motherboard does not support DDR5.
A GPU upgrade would be possible with a 600w PSU, what is your budget? How are the cables / connectors from the PSU to the GPU?
I wouldn't say its worth upgrading the CPU but the best CPU would be a 5800X3D for your current motherboard.
Or are you talking a complete platform change for a new CPU / Motherboard / ddr5 combo?

I had forgotten about the fact Ryzen 5000 isnt compatible with ddr5.

 

I don't have a fixed budget but somewhere around $1000.

 

 The main thing id like to upgrade is my GPU, I am somewhat interested in a complete platform change but I don't really know if now would be a good time to do that or if I should wait.
