Hi all, I would love all your advice on upgrade options to get my PC running the few games I play in best(ish) graphics for best experience... World of Warcraft - Shadowlands and Rocket League is all I play, rarely anything else.

Also, I think my CPU hits 100% a lot, with my USB potentially struggling at times. (not sure if that's a thing?)… just know from people not hearing me well at times due to crackling... (its not bandwidth 100%, im on 300MB+ and my mouse (USB) sometimes doesn't register).

My friend has helped me with an option and he asked to ask you all here if you would make any changes?

Look forward to your responses.

My current system is:

SSD: Samsung 850 Pro 512GB
CPU: Intel i5 2500k
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070

Good build but I would change the 3700x to a 5600x as it destroys the 3700x in gaming although you will also need to buy a b550 motherboard to use it straight away.
You will also need to buy a cooler if you buy a ryzen 5*** series as they dont have one suplied any more.

The 5600x comes with a cooler, though an aftermarket one would run cooler and quieter.
