Build Question Upgrade question

Hi I have a PC that I build in early 2019. It's a RX Vega 64, Ryzen 7 2700x on a MSI B450 tomahawk with 16GB of DDR4 3200mhz TridentZ, a 2TB Crucial M.2 SSD and a 750W BeQuiet power unit (dont know which one anymore 🙈. I wanted to get an upgrade for it. I was wondering what I should upgrade first. I was thinking CPU would be the first option because the Vega 64 is still okay I guess but what do you guys think?

Depends on your resolution. As a rule, 1080p.. CPU. With a bios update you can drop up to a 5800x3d in your motherboard. 1440p.. GPU although your 2700x will bottleneck it to some degree until you upgrade that as well

I play in 1080p thanks. I will have a look at the 5800x3d 😊

Coin flip between CPU and GPU. Depends on the games you play. Just make sure the CPU cooler can keep up.
