Alright so I have a little bit of a situation on my hands as I am a rather indecisive person.. I have some spare cash and I would like to upgrade my current build if it seems worth it. Below are my current specs.

CPU - AMD Ryzen 2600
GPU - MSI GTX 1060 - 6GB
Mobo - MSI B350 Tomahawk
Ram - 2x8GB DDR4 2400Mhz
PSU - 500w
Monitors - 32" Ultrawide & 24" For gaming

BUDGET : $800.00 CAD or $600.00 USD

What do I use my PC for ?
I mainly use it for streaming console games and playing games such as LoL and CSGO ( I dont stream PC Games usually). I am also the type of person to watch netflix and have 10 tabs open while I game hahah.

So now for the tough part... What to upgrade. I have 2 options in mind right now.

OPTION 1
Upgrade CPU - AMD Ryzen 2700 from 2600
Upgrade Ram - 32gb DDR4 from 16gb
Upgrade PSU - 750w from 500w
Upgrade Mobo - undecided

Complications with this option: My main issue with this option is with the CPU upgrade... Will I really even see a justifiable performance increase with the CPU for it to be even worth it?

OPTION 2
Upgrade GPU - RTX 2060 from gtx 1060
Upgrade Ram - 32 gb from 16gb
Upgrade PSU - 750w from 500w

Complications with this option: Is this really the best "bang for my buck"?

If you have any feedback please let me know, or if you have any other viable options in mind let me know as I am sure some of you have some better ideas than I do lol. Or maybe I should just keep saving if I wont notice any serious improvements??? Thanks for you time!

New 3000 series is set to release new AMD processors supposedly around June if u can hold off with that CPU. You may need a more compatible MOBO and RAM for it at the time. But from your list I would go with the GPU increase since your processor is the 2600.

I'm sitting on the desert flavored FX-9590 and getting a 2700x in a few weeks.
