Any budget?

You can still keep your CPU and Mobo, but the RAM needs to be upgraded to dual channel + better clock speeds (I'm guessing currently, it's at 2400Mhz since its DDR). Something along the lines of 2 x 8GB 3200Mhz C16 would give a real good bump to your performance.

SSD upgrade to a DRAM model (e.g., Crucial MX500).

PSU really needs to be upgraded to at least 550W (Gold), or get a larger 750W (Bronze or White).

Graphic card I'm not too sure, but a GTX 1660 Super will be much better performance:watts gain.

Yes, if you manage to find a second hand RTX 2060, it'll be better

Another option:

You can choose Corsair CV650 @260 = save 49 than Gigabyte P650B
and opt-out 250Gb PNY = save another 170

With (49+170), top-up another 50 to get a 3.5" WD 2TB HDD for game storage. (With RTX 2060 you can enjoy AAA games, nowadays those games come in big size after installation, 2TB should last you longer than 250G SSD)

Your existing 1TB can serve as movies/files/photos backup storage purpose.

RAM: Adata Xpg 1200Mhz (8GB)
1200Mhz?

upgrade ram to 16gb 3200Mhz (RM350 for set)
RM150 for 1 stick roughly

GPU : upgrade to 1070 (RM700)

PSU : FSP brand or better brand, with at least 450W

If you're considering upgrading your gpu, you need a bigger psu, otherwise you're stuck with 1650 as the only possible and available upgrade.

I ran my gtx 970 off a 500W psu (before it had 530W). So I'd reckon you need around that much power for medium high gpu. But if you intend to get the brand spanking new 30 series, you'd probably need to aim higher.

After psu, you cab go for RAM - at least add another 8gb.

Then after this, you might want to add ssd storage so that your games load faster, maps/transitions load faster, etc.

That RAM is going to bottleneck the CPU hard (single channel 2400MHz stick) - Ryzen needs fast and dual channel memory for best performance icon_idea.gif

Look for a 2x8GB stick with 3000MHz speeds at the minimum icon_idea.gif

How much are you willing to spend on your upgrades? hmm.gif

Bear in mind that TS only has a single stick 2400MHz RAM (the 1200MHz figure is likely came from CPU-Z readings), so you need a 2x8GB kit RAM instead icon_idea.gif
