I need to upgrade my computer because it should last a long time without costing too much, especially since parts here in Brazil are very pricey. I bought this PC back in 2019 and it's working well at first but now struggles with new video games. My current setup is: CPU Ryzen 7 3700x with the stock cooler, GPU MSI RTX 2070 Super, motherboard B450 AORUS, RAM Corsair Vengeance LPX (2x8GB) running at 3000MHz, PSU Corsair CX750/750W, storage includes a 500GB SSD and a 1TB HDD, and I'm using a generic case. If you have any good suggestions for the parts or build, please share them with me too! Also, I'm thinking of buying an NVMe SSD to make it faster, so I want to swap out my hard drive for one that can hold more space (4TB instead of 1TB). Thanks for the help already, and sorry if my English is not very good.

Why would you want to upgrade? Your computer setup is already pretty good, so do you really need more Bitcoin or spreadsheets? We just need to find out what you actually use your rig for. If you're working on system integration and textile work with 3D printers, you're probably missing a lot of important stuff.

For gaming at 1080p or less, a 5700X3D/5800X3D card is your best choice. Just make sure to upgrade your CPU cooler too. If you're playing above 1080p with high frame rates and detailed textures, then yes, you'll need an AMD GPU like the 4070 or 4080 just like others do. You can still find those cards available today. When it comes to storage, using faster NVMe drives that have enough space won't make your games run better right away, but it helps you start them up a bit smoother over time.
