    What components to upgrade first

    I have a custom built pc with these specs:
    ryzen 3 3200g cpu
    16gb 2400 mhz RAM
    radeon rx 570 4gb gpu
    gigabyte ga a320m sh2 motherboard
    thermaltake smart 500w 80+ white power supply
    500gb ssd
    2 tb hard drive

    I am pretty satisfied with the performance i get gaming now, but id like to have better performance. Eventually i’d like to upgrade this system to a pc powerful enough to have 100+ fps on 1920x1080 high graphics settings in almost any game i throw at it. based on my goals and my current hardware, what should i upgrade first, and what part would you recommend? I only want to do maybe 1 or 2 parts at a time.

    do you have a budget?
    I’d be doing the power supply for starters, something around the 750watt area.
    and 32GB of RAM would see you out for many years (and games) to come.

      well currently my pc is worth about 500-600 i dont quite remember. essentially at the end of this process id like all of my current parts (except storage) to be replaced, and for my pc to be worth around $1000+. so could you recommend me some parts as if i were building a brand new pc with a 1000-1200 dollar budget?
      i guess ill start with ram and power supply since those are what you recommend and they’re easy parts to replace.

        sorry i just realized that since im not replacing the case and or storage, you should recommend me parts as if i had a 1500 dollar budget rather than 1000. thanks for your help
