Hi all. My current specs are :
intel i5 3470 @ 3.2GHz
7GB DDR3 RAM
radeon r7 240 2GB ddr3 graphics card
Lenovo is7xm motherboard (pretty old)
1TB HDD
Windowed gaming exo case .
250 W PSU (which I will upgrade)

I want to start upgrading my pc. I have seen a deal that includes a (Ryzen 3 1200G, 8GB RGB RAM, A32M -M2 pro motherboard, which is a full upgrade kit). But at the same time I can also buy a radeon rx 570 4GB graphics card. I can only buy one now then another in december.

Which should I get first, and why. And if you have any alternatives to those you would recommend, please do

So you reckon the rest comes later?

Yes, that system can satisfy Rx570 with no problems,
But, you must upgrade PSU as there's no way Rx 570 would run with it. Needs at least 500W of good make and model PSU.
Also plan for better system than R3 120(x) and A320MB. At least R5 2600(x) and a b450 motherboard + 16GB of RAM or you would not see much difference.
