What Should I Upgrade First This Friday?

Hey guys, looking to snag a deal on either a cpu or gpu this Friday however I'm not sure what I should prioritize more.

I currently have a:
1650 super
Ryzen 1600
ASRock AB350 Pro4 ATX AM4 Motherboard

Feeling like the cpu might be the best bet with a ryzen 3600.

Budgets going to be around $300..

cpu will heavily bottleneck any gpu upgrade, so i would get the cpu, 3600 is the best performance vs price atm.

Depends what you use your PC for………….

How much and what speed RAM do you have?

    And what do you use it for? (thought I asked that already)

      Medium gaming (as in not very intensive games such as WoW, league, r6, valorent and maybe newer games at low/medium settings) at 1080p. Also music production which would benefit from a bit better cpu.

Are you a gamer? If so - GPU.

$300 won't get you a huge upgrade unless you look second hand.

According to this, you are balanced at the moment

So upgrading any one component, will do nothing
