Upgrade your Ryzen processor!
Upgrade your Ryzen processor!
I'm currently using a Ryzen 3 1200, a Gigabyte A320M motherboard, 8GB RAM, and an 1050 Ti GPU. I'm considering upgrading gradually. Mostly playing FPS games like Rainbow Six Siege, Apex Legends, and COD. I need advice on what to upgrade first, especially since I'm on a tight budget and can't afford major changes all at once. My original plan was to get a B450 motherboard, 16GB RAM, and then a CPU due to high prices in my country. Please share your suggestions and thank me! Stay safe.

I believe a GPU represents the most significant advancement for you at the moment. A 5600XT or the equivalent Nvidia model might be ideal. Alternatively, you could opt for a R5 1600AF if you need more processing power. The choice largely hinges on your available budget. Don't overly stress about the motherboard unless you're looking for specific upgrades like better networking, storage, or RGB features. Recent Ryzen models don't improve as much as first-generation OC versions. You should be fine with an A320 board. RAM should suffice if gaming is your main focus. Current DRAM costs aren't particularly low compared to a few months ago. If CPUs or GPUs are too pricey in your region, consider checking Aliexpress. I recently purchased an RX570 from Aliexpress for £65 to build my 24/7 Folding PC, and it's performed well. Prices are reasonable as long as you're willing to wait a month for shipping.
