So about a year ago I recently got a gaming PC, I've only recently started to upgrade/add extra things, recently went from 3 standard fans to 6 corsair SP120s, got another Toshiba 1TB Harddrive, but I was wondering if there is anything better I can swap my parts out for or anything extra that is needed, I would game quite a bit on it Warzone, CoD, Borderlands, Battlefield etc

For now I'm currently thinking of adding an SSD and only putting the OS on to it and maybe adding another 8/16GB of ram but not too sure if this would be a good idea or a waste of money

my specs currently are:

AMD Ryzen 5 2600
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
ASRock B450 Steel Legend
Gigabyte Radeon RX 5500
16GB Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX Black
500W EVGA SLI/Crossfire 80 Plus Fully wired
2x 1TB Toshiba P300 HDD
Case is a MSI Mag Vampiric 010 Mid Tower Chassis

really anything yous feel would work better in this build

An SSD will be a big upgrade. You should get a 256-512GB SSD.
I would say you could also upgrade your CPU/GPU but it's a bad time right now with none of the new stuff being in stock.

Yeah, was looking recently and they're cheaper than what I actually thought which is good.

Yeah was looking at maybe upgrading to a Ryzen 5 or 7 range but havent a clue what GPU would be the best for what I have

Definitely add an SSD. I'm amazed anyone can use a PC in 2021 without even a SATA SSD in it
