I'm looking to upgrade my gaming rig and could really use some advice on the best order to make improvements. I mainly play '7 Days to Die' and some vanilla games, but I'm interested in diving into mods for a better experience later on. Since I want this setup to last for years, future-proofing is important to me. I initially budgeted around $2,000 when I built it, so I'm hoping to stick to something around that.

Your setup looks pretty solid! I'd suggest holding off on upgrading your CPU unless you come across a great deal on something like a Ryzen 7 5800X3D. For GPUs, if your budget allows, a Radeon RX 9070 XT or 16 GB 9060 XT would work well, but ensure you're looking at the 16 GB versions, not 8 GB. Also, if you're thinking of upgrading your RAM, moving to 2x16 GB could really help out!
Thanks for the GPU recommendations! Do you think my current CPU will bottleneck those? And I'm definitely considering swapping the RAM sticks. That 2x16 GB looks appealing!
