Looks fine to me (assuming you are happy with your SSD, monitor and other peripherals).

If you really, really, really want to upgrade, CoD and CS will look a bit shinier with ray tracing if you change the GPU to an RTX 20?0 or 30?0

Not sure about tech stuff, but i would be thinking that graphics card, possibly a new 3070 or 3080 card would go well, hoping that your motherboard supports it.

what res do you game at ? and at 1080 or 1440p monitor ? any upcoming games your looking to play, get the best out of ?

What is the resolution of your monitor? Because a RTX 3080 would be a huge upgrade.

Thanks for your responses guys.

I do need to buy another SSD as mine is only 250gb. I am going to look at buying a 1TB SSD.

My monitor is 1080p, 144hz, 1ms, 24". Its the Acer Predator GN246HLBbi. I am thinking of upgrading my monitor too.

So perhaps my SSD and GPU next then?

1 TB SSD and a 3080 graphics card if you can get one would be great upgrades, then if you have any funds left id say go for a nice ultrawide monitor around christmas time

2080? That's interesting. Why not a 3080? Or even the 3070?

No sense to start thinking about upgrading GPU, until that rather small low resolution monitor has been updated to something modern.

Just as an example 27" 2560x1440 monitors start from £300 and below.
