I'm working with a Ryzen 5 3600, an RTX 3050 with 8GB of VRAM, and 16GB of RAM. Currently, my PC is pretty slow, especially when rendering for 3D modeling and animation, which takes up a lot of my time. I'm planning to upgrade to a 1TB M.2 SSD since I'm limited to around 500GB right now. I want a smoother workflow and to play bigger games, but I'm feeling overwhelmed with where to start. My budget is between $300 and $400, and I'm not sure if I should upgrade multiple components or focus on one at a time. Any advice on what to prioritize would be great!

Given your use case in 3D modeling, upgrading the CPU would make a significant difference along with adding more RAM. For your budget, aim for a good balance between improving the CPU and GPU. If you can afford it, start with either a more powerful GPU or expanding your RAM. As for the exact models, there are a few good options in the mid-range market depending on your specific tasks!
I totally agree! You might also want to check your software's recommended specs to see what would give you the biggest performance boost.
