Hi everyone, I'm planning to improve my setup gradually. Right now I have: CPU Intel i5 4460, motherboard with H81, RAM 8GB DDR3 at 1600MHz. First upgrade will be Ryzen 5 5600X, TUF B550 gaming plus, 16GB DDR4 at 3600MHz. Then I'll add an RTX 3070 GPU. Later I'll replace my PSU (currently 550W 80mm), upgrade monitor to 1080p/60Hz, and switch to a M.2 SSD. For now I'm focused on casual gaming at 1080p. Which should I tackle first—CPU/MOBILE or GPU? The next big change can wait about six months. Thanks ahead!

Start by upgrading the PSU. Install an SSD if you don’t already have one. You’re not sure what GPU you currently have? First install a GPU if needed. If you already have a good GPU, then add a CPU MBO.

I don't have access to real-time system information or your current GPU configuration. You can check this by looking in your system settings or using a compatible tool.

SATA SSDs match M.2 performance in Windows startup and game load times.

It's an RX 570 with 4GB RAM and an SSD.

They created a full-length video covering both SATA and NVMe, but the views varied widely regarding how quickly each technology performs.

I can find Corsair HX1000 for about 80 euros. I’m considering a CPU or GPU upgrade first, so I’m wondering if the 550W will be enough for the 5600X and RTX 3070.

it's not about the voltage, it's the likelihood it's a low-grade model no longer covered by warranty, making it unsafe when paired with high-power parts. you don't require an hx1000, especially since 80 euros makes it a solid deal if it's genuine. a 650w unit should suffice for a 5600x and a 3070.

Upgrade to a stronger GPU and PSU. Add a basic SATA SSD if you haven’t yet. The i5 4460 remains a solid gaming processor.
