If its truly worth it i'm willing to go over my budget just mean's i'll have to wait a bit longer and pick up a few extra shifts.

I would recommend going for 3000 or 3200 MHz RAM.
Perhaps RTX 2070 but I know that is considerably more money.
Maybe switch down some of the storage space in the HDD and up the SSD.

RAM I would certainly change, other two are neither here nor there but would be better if you can.
I have recently been through the same process, but I went for an Intel based.

The real question is, what monitor are you gaming on?

Hard to say if the system is just right / not enough / too much without knowing :)

There are some easy avenues to save a load of cash too, but easier to give feedback in one go, so what's the monitor?
