Which component require most upgrade.
You're looking at a Ryzen 5 1400 setup with a Gigabyte GA320m-s2h board, GTX 1050 Ti, 16GB RAM, and 550W PSU. The main upgrade options are the motherboard (B450) or the GPU. The B450 is more affordable and offers decent overclocking and stability for the processor, making it a better fit for gaming and multitasking. The GPU is already powerful enough for your needs, so upgrading there might not be necessary unless you plan heavy graphical workloads. Brand-wise, Gigabyte boards tend to be cost-effective compared to other manufacturers.
The games and work that suit this build are quite balanced. For high settings, upgrading to an used RX 580 or RX 5600XT would be ideal. If you focus on esports titles such as CS:GO, CPU performance should shine. This motherboard can comfortably support Ryzen 5 3600 or 3500X.
The B450 motherboard isn't necessary. If you're considering upgrading, what VFM would be best?
