I'm looking to upgrade my PC and I wanted some input on the parts I'm considering. Right now, my PC specs are:
- RX 9070 GPU
- Ryzen 5 3600 CPU
- MSI B450 Tomahawk motherboard
- 32 GB of RAM
- 650W PSU
Since my GPU is still fairly new, I plan to keep it and upgrade everything else. The parts I'm thinking about are detailed in this list:
- Ryzen 5 7600X3D (I mainly game and don't do any editing, so I believe this will be sufficient)
- ASRock B650 Steel Legend WiFi (I've heard this is a great mid-range motherboard with good value)
- Kingston FURY Beast 32 GB DDR5-6000 CL30 RAM (I currently use Fury Beast DDR4, which has served me well)
- MSI MPG A850G PCIE5 850W 80+ Gold PSU (I've seen good reviews on this power supply)
I'm looking to buy the RAM and a 2TB M.2 drive soon because prices are escalating. Do you think this is a solid upgrade, or is there anything I should consider changing?

You might want to consider getting a different motherboard, as some users have reported issues with ASRock when it comes to X3D CPUs. A reliable alternative could be a B650 Pro RS if you're looking for a solid choice.
If it’s a Zen4 chip, it should be fine! I'm running a 7800X3D on my B650 Pro RS and it’s working great.
