[SOLVED] What needs upgrading next?

[Gamingserious5]

So I bought a system a bit back and was wo dering what I should upgrade first. I mainly play games on this PC and not much else, would maybe like to start streaming/video editing on it also. Playing at 1920x1080 @60hz.

Mobo: ASUS A320m-k
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3200g @ stock speeds
Ram: 8gb ddr4 2666 Mhz OC to 3200 MHz
GPU:Vega 8 iGPU

Was thinking about upgrading to an rx 570 4gb as I see my gpu is holding me back most but any other suggestions at around the same price would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I would definitely upgrade the GPU......but I would go a little higher than the 570 for 1080p.
I would go with at least a GTX 1060 or an equivalent AMD card.
They will work fine with your CPU.

I'd be looking at GPU, ram and maybe CPU too.

Going for this would give you an enormous boost:

You will defo need a 6c/12 cpu to start gaming/streaming. Your 2200g will just not cut it. And the RX570 8gb is to weak to get good gaming and stream output at the same time.

8gbs f system ram is too light for AAA games, and specially so for streaming too. 16gb is the sweet spot.

If you really wanted to game/stream at decent settings (so the vid or the game play aren't choppy) you need at least a GTX1070, Rx590.

So I did some research on the 1060 vs the 570 and found an article where fps average when tested across 36 games was only 3 fps higher in favor of the 1060 and in my region a 1060 is 180 usd more expensive than the 570 which I don't think is a jump in price that is worth it. Thanks for all the input and help from all of you though.

I go by the fact that I had a 1060....so I know how it acted.

Also....I was going by this....

if you are not going to upgrade the GPU then i would go for more ram first since the grapics core can take some ram away to use for itself

Luckily I saved it from my uncle who wanted to throw it away as he lost the power cable and went in to a rage

Hopefully your uncle will lose more easily replaceable parts from quality components!
