What should my upgrade path be?

[whall7532]

Right now I have a z77 motherboard with an i5 2500k, 16gb of 1600mhz. A gtx 1050ti, 1tb hdd and 240gb ssd, and I was wondering what would be the best path to upgrade first? Should I upgrade the graphics card, the ssd, or the cpu, ram and motherboard? I don't have a fixed budget, and I'm probably going to spread out buying components over the next several months because I don't have the self control to wait, instead I look and see "Ooh money! I'm gonna buy something" which does not lend well to buying computer parts.

First thing, get an ssd. Then get the cpu, ram, and mobo together. It is pointless getting them separately as new ones will not work in your current system

I have a 240gb ssd. Should I get a bigger one? And as far as the new platform goes, any recommendations of what platform to upgrade to that won't break the bank?

SSD's are pretty cheap nowadays. You can find 1TB SSDs from reputable brands at under 200, sometimes even much lower during sales (I got a Crucial MX500 1TB at 164 during sales)

You should benefit from a quite a performance boost with the Ryzen 5 2600x on a quality B350/B450 mobo.
