That's because pcmasterrace is a silly, stupid and useless subreddit, it's made for memes and praise onself rather than give actual information. It's a complete toxic circlejerk.

Try /r/buildapc and/or /r/buildapcforme

Use one of those lists from PCpartpicker and... Good luck.They have also a nice discord server.

Why do you need a new motherboard? What's your CPU and GPU?

I'm guessing that's a typo where you wrote you have 8GB of RAM and it should read 16 (2x8). Why do you need more? Do you use a system resource monitoring tool like HWInfo? Is your maximum physical memory load during any given day over 90%?

How many competitive multiplayer games do you plan on installing? That could be a huge factor in determining if you need more HDD space or a faster SSD.

Whatever you do, an SSD should always be your OS drive, not an HDD.

Regarding the internal drives, I'd suggest keeping your current 240GB SSD for your OS and buying a second SSD for multiplayer games (which you've played quite a lot, according to your Steam profile). As a third disk, that 4TB WD is a pretty good choice. Make sure you break it into 2 to 4 partitions.

I have a very similar setup.

You don't have to, but it's good practice. If something goes wrong, you can just format a partition and not the entire disk. Also, it speeds up defragmentation.

i think it' even better to use 4TB HDD as data in PC
and then also using NAS as backup

i rarely partition entire HDD except the first time using it
the only thing is, NAS are expensive lol

Motherboard

You don't need a new motherboard if you're upgrading to a Ryzen 5000 series. All you need to do is a BIOS update for your current one. The motherboard has no impact on your performance and in your case very little impact on overclocking. If you don't have a specific reason to upgrade to the new board, there's no need to waste money.

RAM

Do you need to upgrade to 32GB of RAM? For games, 16GB is more than you need for the next few years (by then you will probably upgrade again anyway, probably to DDR5 too). If yes, then the RAM you listed has the same speed. Crucial RAM usually has better dies than Corsair which matters if you're going to do overclock it a lot. If you won't, just get whichever is cheaper or looks nicer. I would recommend staying at 16GB and buying faster RAM instead, like 3600 CL15.

Internal Drives

If you're going to do any sort of storage like photos, videos, games you're not playing (or ones that don't need an SSD), get a HDD since storing all that stuff on an SSD is going to be a waste. The vast majority of games out right now will not benefit from an SSD anyway, apart from shorter loading times, so your framerates will be the sameon a slow HDD or fast SSD. For games that do need an SSD, 2TB is plenty. You might consider an M.2 drive intead of SATA though, there's a possibility that games in the future might utilise M.2 speeds, but it's unlikely.

Are you going to upgrade your GPU as well? Upgrading the RAM and CPU is nice, but unless you have something weak like a 1600X or 3400G right now, you won't notice that much difference. The GPU is what's going to really improve your framerates.

Well, my CPU is still a AMD Ryzen 5 3600, just thought I might as well change to a new Motherboard for more Slots or something as there's a Sale for it. Maybe in the Future I could get the new Ryzen 5000 Series in the future. Just wondering if the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 could be used on the Motherboard and if Not, I could keep it.

RAM: Wanted to upgrade it to either the 2 Choices because of the amount of Multitasking Chrome Tab and Emulator I have open so I thought why not have more RAM stick.

I guess I could use the Black WD for 2nd Drive and your suggestion of using the SSD for OS but not sure which SSD is better.

Even for a WII-U emulator 16gb is enough.

Your current motherboard is pretty nice already. The only improvement of the ASUS board is PCIe 4.0 (which is debatable if anyone needs it right now), one more USB-C slot, one more M.2 slot, and support for RGB lights. Everything else is pretty much the same. You can also use Ryzen 5600 on your current motherboard, you might need to update the BIOS though (which you can get from ASrock's website, and it's quite easy to do).

From the 2 SSDs you listed, Samsung 970 is better in terms of speed, but it's smaller in terms of capacity. You probably won't notice the speed difference in the OS or current games though, maybe in a few years you might as games start to utilise console SSDs.

You don't need a new motherboard to upgrade the CPU to the new series:

Supports Ryzen 5000 series CPU.

http://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/B450%20Pro4/#BIOS

The Ryzen 5 3600 is still a very powerful CPU, I don't know why you would want to upgrade just now unless you need more cores for virtualization, 3D rendering...

For gaming, 6 cores are more than enough.

You motherboard supports several series:

Supports AMD AM4 Socket Ryzen™ 2000, 3000 and 5000 Series

I would only replace the motherboard if the new one had DDR5 support.

Do get 32GB if you plan on multi tasking with emulator, 16 is "enough" only in the sense that its the bare minimum if you play on multitasking with certain games running and eat up most of your ram with very little room left

First of all what do you want to use it?
When you do what you do with it, how much ram and cpu do you use? Task manager will help.
About hard drives, you need space or you need speed more? Do you use them constantly or just to store things?

Anyhow in general what @Filipi said is good and true. Amd likes faster ram, so min 3200 or more is a nice boost.

Overall More Space, faster process in general with the about of Tabs, Emulators open then there is Video Rendering and Heavy resources games especially those with Unreal Engine

The best way to help you upgrade would be to know your complete build at this time, and what it is you intend to do with the computer. If it's merely intended for gaming as an example, 16GB would be more than enough, the only game I can even think of that I've played which commonly utilizes more is Star Citizen, and even it gets by fine with 16GB. Meanwhile, if you do video editing, or music production, yes 32GB would be more helpful, so... It's kind of a situation where more information is required to assist you properly.

+1,

3D CGI could also benefit from the 32GB of RAM/ scene layout, rendering, simulations, baking textures. all is quite RAM intensive. But yeah all the same vein.

2D can as well, especially if you're a photoshop user. It's crazy how much ram big projects with tons of layers can take up. Anything productivity related for that matter is typically good to have more ram tho. Guess it doesn't hurt to mention it all in case others aren't aware.

Well the major thing you would want to do is upgrade to 32GB of 3200 RAM. You could go more, but anything beyond 3200 provides diminishing returns performance wise, 3200 is the sweet spot. You could go more than 32GB, go 64GB if you wish, but how much difference it would make in your workloads isn't something I can give accurate info on.

If you want an extra boost to your productivity, you could go for a 5000 series AMD. a 5600X would give a nice boost to both gaming and productivity over what you have, or if you really want to push that productivity to the limit, go for a 5950X, tho note it's gaming performance may be slightly less than the 5600X, though still better than the 3600. Your current motherboard will support 5000 series CPU's, so changing isn't a requirement, but it would require a BIOS update, assuming those have been rolled out already, I'm not sure, haven't been paying attention to that myself, you'd need to look into it.

Also adding in a good NVMe drive would be beneficial in some productivity tasks as well.

That all said though, your PC is pretty good. If I were in your position, at most I'd get a good NVMe, and upgrade my RAM to 32GB 3200, but beyond that I probably wouldn't bother with much, unless it's how you make money. If it is, then yes, get a 5950X, and maybe go 64GB for RAM. Otherwise, wait a generation or two and just build a new PC to really get the most for your money.

Well, for video editing a fast NVMe based SSD would probably help the most, though some editors really eat RAM as well (I've seen After Effects chew through 16GB like it was nothing). For multitasking you want more cores and RAM., and games it's mostly down to the GPU.

So just get the parts for whatever tasks you feel need the biggest performance boost.

Uhm... and your CPU is on all cores 100% loaded while doing that? Because I would think that your system is still good enough for all of these tasks and the cost for upgrading it to what you want might not bring any return even close to the worth of that investment.
I can see a benefit from getting more RAM (I'm on 32GB myself) but that could be done more effectively by simply buying a second pair of what you already have (no, in every day life you won't notice a difference between 2666MHz and 3200MHz).
And getting more storage if you need it is a no brainer - get what you need. (Don't get any drives typically meant for NAS though - I have two WD40EFRX and they both produced such an annoying tinnitus like noise that I had to buy a switch for inbetween the HDDs power line so I can only turn them on when actually needed to keep my sanity).
So if you'd ask me: Keep what you have, add some RAM and storage and wait until DDR5 (maybe next year already) to upgrade your systems mainboard/CPU/RAM/GPU or just get a completely new system then and sell the current one.

So I should choose either RAM sticks to add to current Ram Sticks (Motherboard has 4 Slots) and any of the Storage Drives currently listed?

You're question confuses me...:
If you need more storage because your drives run full of data then you get a new drive.
RAM can help with tasks like video rendering (and I say 'can' on purpose instead of 'does'), emulators (not sure if they actually need more than your 16GB - you could check that while running them in the system resource monitor) or heavily modded games (while 16GB should still be more than enough for basically all the current games by themselves).
So the questions I'd ask would be: What do you actually need, where do you feel your system is insufficient OR how loose is your wallet and your urge to just get new 'toys'?

You know, we both got pretty similar setups (same CPU, similar MB, I got 2x16GB RAM sticks (2133MHz of four year old Kingston ValueRAM overclocked to 2666MHz with fast timings) and a RX5700, 500GB SSD for the System, 1000GB for software/games (because the 500 wasn't enough anymore for the system plus software/games), 4TB HDD for data, 4TB HDD for backups). I did a lot of video editing some years and am gaming e.g. CoD MW, CW or Warzone at 60-70fps on highest settings or at about 120 fps with competitive settings - and I don't feel like my system could benefit from any hardware update that would be worth the investment. Sure, 3200MHz or higher clocked RAM would be nice - would it be worth the investment? Hell no! Sure I'd like to have a new GPU - would that be worth the money and would it even bring any benefit at all for what I'm using it for? Absolutely not. Now... a high refresh rate monitor with free sync - that could be something fun. On the other hand my Dell U2515H is still superb and right now there's no monitor that I know of which offers everything I'd want for a price I'd be comfortable paying. But, what it comes down to if I'd be doing anything that you are doing with your system, I only might get my RAM up to 32GB and get more storage if the storage I have isn't enough for the projects (and for keeping backups of them).
