Is your current GPU a 4070 SUPER? depending on what 600W psu it should be fine really. What type of 3tb storage? If hard drive definitely upgrade that first. What speed is that RAM? if you already have the 4070 super I'd say upgrade to AM5 (if its a shit quality psu then upgrade that as well but can you tell us what psu it is exactly?)

 

example upgrade (PS120SE is good if you have a single tower but what cooler and case do you have?)

EDIT: considering there aren't many decent 600W psus I made one with a good psu as well (using your old cooler, what is your current cooler?)
