I want to improve my PC for long-term use without breaking the bank. Coming from Brazil, parts here are costly. I built this system in 2019 and it still works well, but I’m finding it harder to run newer games.
My current specs:
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X with stock cooler
GPU: MSI RTX 2070 Super
Motherboard: B450 AORUS M
RAM: Corsair Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8) @ 3000MHZ
Power Supply: Corsair CX750, 750W, Bronze 80 Plus
Storage: 500GB SSD, 1TB HDD, generic case (planning to upgrade later)
I’m considering a 1TB NVMe SSD and swapping my HDD for a 4TB one. Thanks for your help! Sorry for the unclear English.

Why do you wish to upgrade? Your setup is fairly stable, but you require additional bitcoin or spreadsheets. We must understand how your equipment is being used. For system integration and textile tasks for 3D painters, you're currently lacking the necessary support.

For gaming at or below 1080p, a 5700x3D/5800x3D setup would be ideal, though you should also consider upgrading your CPU cooler. Above 1080p and with higher frequencies and more detailed visuals, you’d need to upgrade your GPU to at least the 4070/4080 series from AMD, which are still available. Regarding storage, faster NVMe drives with sufficient space would mainly enhance responsiveness rather than directly boosting performance.
