Build Advice Upgrade advice for a hardware dummy (Gaming) ?

[Kovrtep]

Hello,

I want to upgrade my gaming PC that I built myself like 5 years ago. Had no clue what to buy or how to build it, but it worked out. A pc forum choose the parts for me back then.
I am not interested in hardware. I know the function of most of the parts. But I don't know different models or can judge the performance and compatibility.
I want to upgrade because I can no longer play my games in very good graphics.
Can you please advise me which parts to replace and with what?

The games I play: Cyberpunk, Anno 1800, Satisfactory, Baldurs Gate 3

Would spend a max. 2000€ if it makes sense.

My system:
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Home
System Model: X570 AORUS ELITE
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8-Core
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 3109 GB
32GB (2x 16GB) G.Skill RipJaws V schwarz DDR4-3200 DIMM CL16-18-18-38 Dual Kit
storage: Samsung SSD 860 EVO 2TB
power: 650 Watt be quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 Modular 80+ Platinum
cpu cooler: EKL Alpenföhn Brocken 3
case: be quiet! Silent Base 801

Thank you very much.
Let me know if anything is missing

This is much more than I dared hope for, I thank you very much.

When I change from Nividia to Radeon I have to/ should clean wipe my system right?

I also want to buy a "2TB WD Black SN850X M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 3D-NAND TLC" for more space.
It is compatible with my motherboard right?

Delete your old drivers and yes that SSD will work fine.

When you go to remove the old gpu, run this prior to swapping the card from within safe mode. Then shut the pc down, hook up the new psu and new gpu then fire it back up and install the gpu drivers from amd.com

Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) download version 18.0.8.9

Download Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) - Remove AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL Graphics Drivers Cleanly - DDU is a driver removal utility that helps you completely uninstall AMD/NVIDIA graphics card drivers and packages from your system, leaving no leftovers behind, including registry keys, folders, files...

Also before you install the new cpu, be sure you go to the motherboard manufacturer website and install the latest bios for your motherboard.

As a side note you may be able to recoup some of your money by reselling your old CPU and gpu.

You might want to update the bios and mobo drivers before upgrading stuff.
