I've been using my PC for about 6 or 7 years, and I'm considering an upgrade since it feels a bit dated. Here are my current specs:
- **Motherboard**: Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core
- **CPU Cooler**: Corsair H100x Liquid Cooler
- **RAM**: G.Skill Ripjaws V 64 GB DDR4-3200
- **Storage**: Western Digital Black SN750 1 TB NVME SSD
- **Graphics Card**: GeForce RTX 3080 ti
- **PSU**: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 GA 850 W 80+ Gold
I think the CPU might be the first component to upgrade, but I'm not entirely sure. My case is a Fractal Design Meshify C ATX Mid Tower, and I'm concerned about space for new parts. I'm looking for suggestions on which components to upgrade for the best value. Any pointers would be awesome, thanks!

Your current build is still pretty solid! If you’re not having performance issues in the games you play, it might not be necessary to upgrade right away. A good idea could be to upgrade your storage to a larger SSD, as 1TB is becoming a bit cramped these days.
Yeah, things mostly run fine, but I haven’t been able to hit those ultra settings at high FPS like I used to. I’m definitely feeling the pressure since my friend just built a new rig.
