Help with upgrades for Streaming / Work PC! :D

Hello there! :D

I use to be quite tech savvy in the past when it came to upgrading my PC, but my knowledge on internal hardware is sadly out of date by at least a decade or more these days and I usually deter to more knowledgeable people on this subject.

I could really use the help of others that are more up to date with helping upgrade my PC this time around for Streaming games on Twitch and Video editing/rendering! for work since I'm getting more involved with the editing side rather than the modelling side of things :D

Budget right now is... maybe say about £1000, but any suggestions are welcome for future upgrade ideas also! I'm just wanting to know what major upgrades I could go for or might need right now, like I'm not gonna be upgrading my GPU, but I thought I'd list it all the same!

I wanna say 2009? 2010? AGES ago, and it's been doing be great ever since.GPU: Running a single MSI GeForce RTX 3070, no idea how important these details are so I'll include them:• 1845 MHz / 14 Gbps• 8GB GDDR6• DisplayPort x 3 (v1.4a)HDMI x 1 (Supports 4K@120Hz as specified in HDMI 2.1)

Mobo: MSI Ryzen X570 MEG UNIFY DDR4 AM4 Motherboard• DDR4 (128 GB Max Size)

RAM: 2x8GB G.Skill Trident Z Neo.• No clue on the specific model sadly and the CPU Fan is kind of stopping me popping it out to check at the moment, so I don't know the MHz either... honestly I'm scratching my head of where I even got them from. but Task manager gives a few hints to those who are smarter than I am hopefully haha!• In use 9.8-10.3 GB, Compressed(929-720 MB), Available (5.7-6 GB)• Committed 17.9/35.0 GB, Cached 6.1GB• Paged Pool 732 MB, Non-paged pool 587 MB• Speed: 2133 MHz• Slots used: 2 of 4• Form Factor: DIMM• Hardware Reserved 49.4 MBPSU: Corsair RM850 modular Power Supply, 850 watt.

But! The GoXLR does have a line out, and it would be simple to set the Streamdeck up to switch between outputs for system sounds.

​

Can't think of anything else off the top of my head to list down... I'll update this list if someone has a suggestion that I didn't think about or don't have myself! I didn't list EVERY bit of software, but some of the more basic stuff that's subjective and some of the more advanced stuff so people have an Idea what I work with. Sorry if some parts are a little less described than others, especially the Hardware, it's what I'm weakest on when it comes to specifics, more of a software dude :DBut that's basically my rig inside & out! It's a lot and it all varies in price and age, but gaming with long-distance friends has been a passion of mine for years and my work revolves around working on the PC from home 9/10 times anyway as a 3D Modeller so, win win really, anything that could improve that hobby or quality of life suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks again in advance dudes!
