Personally would i upgrade about all you have, but if you want a better cpu for instance could you stick with the gtx 1050 ti for instance.
Hope that ram is not just 2133mhz, would like to keep that , but maybe selling it would be good if it is and buy some faster ram.

An option,

Don't know what psu that pre buld has in it so chose another one. Maybe it will do, but would like to know what it is before that.
I could use a B450 motherboard which would be cheaper, but in all likelyhood will that cut off future upgrade-ability to Ryzen 4000.

See now that the motherboard i chose is also not available. Might want to hold out upgrading untill motherboards (or other parts) are well in stock again and maybe prices dropped again..
 
Dear User,

Hey, if you want to become a gamer, then you'll obviously need good parts. So, I'm going to suggest, you upgrade your graphics card, cpu, and lower your RAM. Some pro players use 16GB of RAM, because 16GB is enough to run high-end games such as Fortnite, COD, PubG etc... I would recommend the following parts:

The rest of your parts are fine. If this helped, please select my reply as solved. Hope you can get back to gaming as soon as you can! 😀
He cannot just use that cpu on his current motherboard. If you want to give good advice you should know that. Keep reading and make yourself more familiar with all hardware.
There's also little gain by lowering ram since he already has it.
 
If you want to upgrade what you already have, you could get an ssd and a 1660 gtx super/ti.
If you want a platform upgrade, I suggest a Ryzen 3600, DDR4 3600 memory, a ssd, and a 1660 gtx ti/super.
