I'm new to PC building and need some guidance on upgrading my setup. I purchased a custom-built PC three years ago, but now I'm interested in making some improvements. My main activities are music production and graphic design, but I'd also love to be able to game a little. I have a list of my current components below for reference:
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core
• GPU: Radeon RX 570
• Motherboard: X570 Pro Gaming
• RAM: 28 GB
• Main Monitor: Acer 27'' KG271
• Side Monitor: Acer 27'' V277
What parts should I consider upgrading for better performance?

I'm leaning towards the GPU upgrade as well for your needs. If you're gaming a bit on the side, that's where you'll see the most noticeable improvements. Just remember, you don't need the absolute best GPU; a solid mid-range card might fit your needs just fine. Plus, that should still work well for your music production and graphic design tasks!
For gaming, you'd definitely want to upgrade your GPU first. It makes a big difference in performance. That said, I can't really suggest specific upgrades for music production and graphic design without knowing what you're currently pushing to the limit. Have you checked your task manager or HWinfo to see if anything is maxing out during heavy use? That info could really help in deciding where to focus your upgrades.
