Hey everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my NZXT Streamer PC but I'm not sure where to start. I bought this model back in 2021, and here are the specs:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
- **GPU:** NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
- **RAM:** 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3200MHz
- **Storage:** 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD
- **Motherboard:** B550 ATX Motherboard
- **Cooler:** NZXT Kraken M22 Liquid Cooler
- **Power Supply:** 650W Bronze Certified
If I can't upgrade everything at once due to the high costs of RAM and GPUs, what parts should I upgrade first? Would upgrading the motherboard and CPU improve performance enough while keeping the same RAM and GPU? I'm hoping to prepare for a future GPU upgrade when prices hopefully come down. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'd say focus on upgrading your GPU first. The Ryzen 5 5600X is still a solid CPU, but upgrading to something like a Radeon RX 9070 could really boost your FPS. It's a better investment given how well it can handle current games.
Is the 9070 still super overpriced right now? I'd rather not invest in a part that's inflated in price.
