Greetings!! I am currently rocking a ryzen 3 1200, 8gb 2400 ddr4 ram, a 2gb 750ti, a 120gb SSD, an MSI b350m gaming pro (m-atx), and a terribly crowded Rosewill case. For a display, I have the worlds oldest Samsung TV from 2009. I am looking to upgrade the following: Storage, Case, Monitor, and GPU if the market goes down. In total, I have a budget of $350. Any help would be appreciated!

$350 US?

I'd aim for a ~24" 1080p/60Hz monitor, a cheap, spacious case and a GPU if at all possible.
Storage, assuming you have your 120GB SSD + an HDD, I wouldn't bother right now, as the budget is better spent elsewhere.
If you *only* have the 120GB SSD though, yes, storage additions will very likely be required.

From a 750TI, the minimum step 'up' I'd suggest would be a 1050TI.... but in todays market, that's easier said than done on a budget.

IPS display.... a solid "upgrade".

If you need the storage though, you may have to cut some corners elsewhere....

A smaller monitor (21.5"), which isn't for everyone. Still IPS, 7ms response.
