I'm considering a PC priced at $375 AUD, and I want to know if it would make a good starting point for upgrades as I save up. Here are the specs:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 (6-Core, 3.5GHz)
- **GPU**: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 – 8GB VRAM
- **RAM**: 24GB DDR4 (great for multitasking & gaming)
- **Motherboard**: B450M DS3H WiFi
- **Storage**:
- 120GB Patriot Burst Elite SSD (for OS and fast boot)
- 1TB Kingston NVMe SSD
- 500GB Toshiba HDD (extra storage)
- **WiFi**: Built-in
- **OS**: Windows pre-installed and ready to go.

For the price, this PC looks like a solid choice. If you plan on upgrading later, I'd definitely recommend focusing on the GPU first. Maybe consider selling the GTX 1070 for a newer option like a 9060XT when you've got the budget.
I was thinking about upgrading the RAM with two matching sticks first, then the GPU. It’s reassuring to hear this is a good base!
