What do I upgrade first?

[MRob11]

I’m wondering what I should upgrade first, I only have a 60hz monitor and I’ll be getting a 144hz monitor, but don’t know what to do first inside the computer 

Here are my specs

CPU -Ryzen 3 1300X

GPU -Gigabyte 1050ti

RAM -8GB Corsair 3000mhz

Mobo- MSI B350 pc mate

PSU- 500w EVGA 

storage- 1tb HDD 128gb ssd

If your sticking to 1080p gaming with a 144Hz monitor, prioritize a CPU first, then get more RAM. Beyond that you should be doing good in most titles currently out.

GPU first to a 1060/580 or better. Then a CPU omce Ryzen 3000 or Ryzen 4000 comes out. Upgrade to 16GB of Ram when you feel like doing so

For more workstation, I would suggest  16GB RAM and a better CPU.

What if I want to do streaming and playing, but nothing too heavy

Streaming would benefit most from 16GB RAM and a CPU with more cores.

Would I just add one stick of 8gb ram

First: Upgrade GPU to 1070 ti or equivalent 11 series. You'll be fine for 90% of games. You'll get bottlenecks for 10% of games, but still better experience than 1050 ti.

 

Second: Get another RAM stick to have 16gb

 

Third: Upgrade CPU
