Just purchased Starfield and all the loading screens between areas are taking ages. I think I have a pretty good set up, but as my birthday is coming up any ideas on the best way to upgrade to quicken these loading times?

Here is my basic set up.

Game is installed onto a 2TB SSD.
• be quiet! Pure Power 11 500W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply
• Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 16GB (2x8GB) 3600 MHz AMD Ryzen Tuned DDR4 Memory Dual Kit

• AMD Ryzen 5 3600

• MSI MPG B550 GAMING EDGE WIFI Motherboard

• MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB MECH OC Graphics
I am thinking maybe get another 2 sticks of memory to bring it up to 32gb, or should I replace what I have? I can spend about £150 on upgrades.
Any help greatly appreciated
 
Do you monitor your FPS when you play? It might sound random but you don't limit your FPS do you to say 30? Or have Radeon chill on that could limit your FPS during load screens? I'm not entirely sure if that is how Radeon chill works.

I only ask as I installed fallout 4 last weekend, just to try a Bethesda game and my load times were minutes! And it was linked to my FPS being low during load screens. Downloaded a mod that upped my FPS cap and then transition load times were back to sub 10secs.

As it's built on the same engine thought it was worth mentioning.
I actually get about 120fps, on medium settings. Graphics quality is always good, it's just everytime you go into a new area it loads it up, some say it only takes them a couple of seconds, but for me it can take a minute or two.

I'm thinking of going down the NVMe route, then later I might update the CPU.
