[SOLVED] What should i upgrade?

[Deima_]

Currently these are my components.

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
Ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR4 3000
Motherboard: MSI B350M gaming pro
GPU: GTX 1050 ti 4gb
HDD: WD Blue 1TB
SSD: Samsung evo 250GB

Wondering what would be the best to upgrade. Reccomendations would be nice as long as they're not something over 250$ each.
Thanks.

If this is for gaming...
Your processor can handle a much faster gfx card than the 1050 Ti. That would be first
Doubling your RAM would be next.
I would also want to grab a SSD.

Pretty much in that order if it were mine. ~$180 will get you a RX 580 8GB. The rest can be spent on either the RAM or SSD depending on which you feel would be most benificial to the way you use the PC.

Ram first, sell the old stuff, it'll be useless. 2x8Gb 3000/3200MHz.
Use proceeds towards:
Gpu second. Rx580, gtx1660ti.
Which brings up:
Psu. Didn't list it, so it's probably not worth mentioning or bragging about, but it is a psu, so needs to be appropriately sized and of appropriate quality, something actually worth mentioning.
Which ends up with the ability for better performance:
Which only happens with OC and that'll require a decent cpu cooler.
Which only fits in:
A decent case you actually like the looks of and has decent airflow.

+1^ about the PSU. I should have asked first if it could handle the RX 580. Or even the GTX 1660/1660 Ti mentioned above.

I do have an ssd as listed above, unless you mean one with more space on it?

Ah, yep, not worth bragging about. But at least it'll handle either the Rx580 or the 1660ti with no worries.

ah okay, thats good to hear. also, say i was to get an rx 580, which one would i get, checking on amazon there is a radeon, sapphire, asus, powercolor. I know they're just made by different brands but I assume they have differences so im not sure which one is better or which one i should avoid getting.

Radeon is AMD house brand, it's commonly referred to as the reference design. It's as plain as it gets. Sapphire makes some of the best amd cards, but can be a little finicky at times. Asus is a solid performer, usually in the top few, rarely the best, but the differences are usually only found in benchmarks. My last 3 cards have been Asus, very quiet, but not on top of fps ladder. Powercolor uses reference boards and puts their name on them, after jacking up the performance. If it's not a lemon, they work great.

Honestly, I'd stick with the Asus or Sapphire, whichever is cheaper, you aren't looking at an uber performance benchmark machine, so any fps differences will be negligible. I would opt for twin fans though, the Asus Phoenix is better for really small cases.
