Hi y'all!

 

I'm relatively new to PC building and am looking to upgrade my current PC after about 5 years of use. I already have all the peripherals and everything, it's just the actual PC getting the upgrade. I intend to use MicroCenter, and likely have them put together the PC for me in the interest of time, however I'm not factoring that cost into the actual build. The 1500 budget is pretty firm, and I already have put together a list I think is pretty decent. I still have a little room to play around with though, and am unsure where to best invest it, if at all. Aesthetics aren't really my main concern at the moment as I value performance more.

 

My current PC makes use of an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060, and has 32 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM and I'm looking to get as big of a performance upgrade I can. I've (hopefully) left a link to the current part list I have below and included it in text form too. I would appreciate any suggestions or tips to potentially improve, or the all clear to get ordering. Thanks!
