I'm looking to upgrade my PC build but I'm not very experienced with parts. I would love some advice on what the most important upgrades would be. Here are my current specs:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X (12 cores, 24 threads)
- Cooler: Thermalright Frozen Notte 360 White ARGB Liquid Cooler
- Motherboard: ASRock B450
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 2080 Super Founders Edition (8GB)
- RAM: 32GB DDR4 3200MHz (Dual Channel)
- Storage: 1TB Gen 4 NVMe SSD
- PSU: Corsair 750W (80+ Certified)
- Fans: 9x All-White ARGB Fans
- OS: Windows 11
Any suggestions for the first upgrade I should focus on?

If you're on a budget, upgrading your GPU is a great option! It's one of the best ways to boost your gaming performance without overhauling everything else.
Yeah, I’d like to know what kind of GPU would be a good fit too!
A solid tip is to check your task manager while gaming. See which component is maxing out in usage—upgrading that could really help improve performance.
Sounds like my memory is bottlenecking. Should I upgrade to 64GB or stick with 32GB?
What if my budget isn't an issue? What GPU would you recommend for my setup?
