Hey everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my PC and I need some advice. Here are my current specs:
- **Motherboard**: Asus PRIME B550M-A WIFI II (DDR4 Micro ATX AM4)
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (6 Core, 4.6GHz Turbo)
- **Graphics Card**: PowerColor Radeon RX 9060 XT Reaper (16GB GDDR6)
- **CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Assassin X120 Refined SE ARGB
- **Current RAM**: Corsair 16GB Vengeance LPX (2x8GB, 3600MHz)
- **Storage**: Western Digital SN5000 1TB Gen 4 NVME SSD
- **PSU**: FX Pro 600W Power Supply (80 Plus Bronze)
I'm thinking about adding 2 more 8GB RAM sticks to bump my RAM up to 32GB. Is that a good move? Also, can I add another 1TB SSD on top of my existing one? Finally, will my 600W power supply handle these upgrades without issues? Any thoughts would be appreciated!

The power supply shouldn't be a problem for these upgrades, but when it comes to RAM, it's often smoother to buy a matched set instead. You can definitely add two more 8GB sticks, but consider getting a new 32GB kit (like 2x16GB) instead—it'll save you some hassle with compatibility. The pricing isn't too bad either. And yes, you can add more NVMe storage; just pick a reliable one!
Would you say it's better to add another 1TB or just go for a bigger 2TB SSD?
