Hi All,

I have a 2-3 years Old computer and have a little budget for an upgrade.

As I have a 512 Go M.2 SSD, I was thinking about ugrading. But not sure what to do.

Buy a 2To Samsung 990 Pro with Heatsink
Buy a SATA SSD I would use for storage and Keep my 512Go M.2 for my OS
Buy a 1To M.2 SSd and a SATA SSD

What's the best Idea? Anything Else that would be worth upgrading:

AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3400Mhz MSI B450-A PRO MAX GeForce RTX 2080 16 GB of RAM Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500GB

I'm basicaly only playing Apex, other small games, and doing admin stuff. Thank you for your help

I believe an others have said a nice 1 or 2tb SSD that is PCI based should help out. Picking up an additional 16GB of ram isn’t necessary but neither is any of this and would likely let your system last even longer. There’s also a good chance your b450 motherboard supports newer x3d variants of the 5000 series ryzen CPUs through a BIOS upgrade. If you have a microcenter you can try to snag one of the 5600x3d processors or snag a used 5800x3d or maybe one on sale.
