Itching to upgrade something, but what? (i.imgur.com)

This is mostly just for discussion, but this is my PC's current state. I do want to do a full custom watercooled setup sometime but I'm wondering if anything is screaming out "upgrade me, I'm old". I mostly game and do CAD design/3D printing. Some photoshop and After Effects work every now and then. What would you upgrade?

So not memory intensive at all? The benefit of the 5950 is the cores (if utilised by software) and the frequency. Which infers that the 5800x3d would still be your best choice.

The 3D printing part isn't as it doesn't really involve a computer if you don't want to. But if you do CAD design, then yes obviously. The 3D printing slicer software is still 3D software, but you can't do as much as a full blown CAD program.

I use Fusion 360 for CAD design, which uses multiple cores.
