Need to upgrade my PC what should i do first and what do you recommend ?

[Sir Oblivion]

Hi everyone,

I've been looking into upgrading my PC because i stream a lot on twitch and to play games and stream at the same time i have to have everything on the lowest settings, even when i'm not streaming i still have to have everything on the lowest. I already know what CPU i want which is a Ryzen 7 2700 but any suggestions are much appreciated and lets just say a budget of about £900.

But here is my current PC specs:

CPU: AMD FX 8350 Eight Core Processor

Graphics Card: AMD Radeon (TM) RX 480 Series

MotherBoard: GIGABYTE 990x Gaming SLI

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 4GB x2

HDD: 1TB + 500g Hard Drive + 120g SSD

PSU: Corsair Professional Series HX750 - 80 Plus Silver Certified Modular Power Supply

PSU is able to handle vega 64 just fine - even streaming at 1080p - powerful GPU and high core count should allow for high frame rate for reviewer as well as yourself with high quality settings enabled

wanting more GPU power- ryzen 2600x and enable encoding off the GPU via h265
