Start with the GPU upgrade first. The RX5700 looks great. Once that's done, move to a Ryzen5 for a solid 1080p setup. For games like Metro, having strong GPU performance is key initially.

Determine the type of power supply unit you're using. Check its age and specifications. Consider these factors carefully before updating your system to avoid potential issues.

Hello, your Cooler Master 550w is not certified. You purchased it around four years ago along with other items.

Updating the GPU shouldn't cause CPU bottlenecks if the system is properly optimized.

You're looking for more details about the power supply unit. It seems important to know the exact model and specifications, especially since some brands have received mixed reviews. If it lacks high-quality certifications like 80 plus white, it might not be reliable. Clarifying these points will help determine if it's suitable for your needs.

Minimal requirements mostly. A small amount might work, though. Just keep in mind that once you upgrade the GPU, the CPU could become the limiting factor again, but you can always tackle that next time.

I looked it up and it mentions Cooler Master with a 550W rating. It has served me well over four years without any issues, so I haven’t had any problems.

I understand your concern about spending wisely on a card. What works best depends on your needs—would you prefer something affordable or more valuable?

I need a model number or some details. Could you share a photo? CM does things differently, and I can help with the right measurements.
