Budget (including currency): 100,000 yen (around $650)

Country: Japan

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Streaming 1080p at 60 fps, Games (Monster hunter Wilds at steady 60+ fps with no frame gen)

Other details

Motherboard: Asus MB series 1, TUF B450M-PLUS GAMING

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF

GPU: RX570 armor 8G

Storage: Seagate 1TB HDD (currently the boot drive)

Ram : Corsair 16GB DDR4

PSU: Thermaltake Smart 80plus Standard Series

Thermaltake Versa H26 Mid- tower

Plan:

The PC has been struggling to play games like Devour, ETS2, and MH Rise/World and sometimes even crashes while gaming off-stream. Been saving up for an upgrade this December to run a few newer titles and hopefully be able to also stream them.

 

What parts do I need to prioritize in upgrading or would it be better to just build a new pc?

Storage, because HDDs for gaming (of the caliber you mentioned) aren't going to cut it

CPU, Perhaps a 5600 or ideally a 5700x3D

And a better PSU because IIRC the one you have is bad to say the least

 

Those are the more urgent ones

Ideally, you should also go for 32 gigs of RAM and a slightly better GPU 

I edit my posts for so if you saw a typo.... no you didn't, you are just crazy
