Upgrade suggestions ?

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice on upgrading my current PC. I mainly use it for 1080p gaming and general everyday use. Lately, newer games are starting to push the system, so I’m thinking about what upgrade would make the most sense.
My current setup:
- CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 (stock/box cooler)
- Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk
- RAM: 16GB (2×8GB) DDR4 3000 MHz
- Storage:
- WD Green 256GB SATA SSD
- WD 2TB HDD
- GPU: GTX 1660 (Gigabyte)
- PSU: 450W 80+ Bronze (Gigabyte)
- Display: LG IPS 60Hz
I’m unsure whether I should upgrade the CPU, GPU, or PSU first, especially considering the B450 motherboard and my 60Hz display. I’m open to suggestions for balanced upgrades that won’t require a full rebuild.

I mean you could upgrade just about everything. You have a mobo, ram, a boot drive, and some mass storage to work with. This is the base for anything from a simple cpu upgrade to a 4k monster it just depends how much you wanna spend. Value wise a 5600/9060xt 16gb/new psu/monitor/nvme would be your biggest bang for buck upgrade
