Any worthwhile upgrades?

Heya!

 

I'll cut straight to the point. This is my current system is in the signature, and I was wondering if there were any worthwhile upgrades. I'm not doing anything extreme with the system (Mostly Fortnite and Rainbow Six Siege) and it runs fine as it is, but I was wondering if it is worth it to upgrade anything now or down the line. Thanks!

If there's no performance problems, no point in upgrading then. You've got a modern CPU and GPU, maybe later you'll want more ram and like @zombienerd said your power supply is not really any good.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?
