I'm looking for advice on what upgrades to make to my gaming PC. Here are my current specs:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 5600
- **GPU:** NVIDIA ASUS GeForce RTX 3070
- **RAM:** 32GB DDR4 3000MHz (I capped it at 3000MHz; they're actually 3200MHz)
- **Motherboard:** ASUS B550M-K
- **Storage 1:** 256GB SSD
- **Storage 2:** 1TB HDD
- **Power Supply:** 750W PSU
Considering the current high prices and my budget of $500-600, I can also sell some parts to increase my funds for the upgrade. I mostly play games like Mount and Blade Bannerlord, Rust, and other demanding open-world RPGs. What do you think I should focus on upgrading first?

If you're not too worried about spending, I’d recommend upgrading your storage first, especially if you can add a second NVMe SSD. That will really help with load times and overall performance. But if you’ve got the cash, then definitely consider a new CPU, as that’s got a huge impact on performance.
Actually, I have another 1TB NVMe SSD I forgot to mention. I'm thinking of moving to the AM5 platform next!
