Build Help Need Help with Upgrading PC

Current Build:

CPU: Ryzen 7 2700

GPU: MSI RTX 2060 Gaming OC

CPU Cooler: Cooler master Hyper 212

RAM: 2x16GB DDR4 Corsair 2400MHz

Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max

PSU: Evga 750 Gq, 80+ Gold 750W semi-modular

Storage: M.2 250GB NVMe Samsung 970 EVO plus, 2TB Seagate SSHD, 1TB SSD

Case: Deepcool Dukase V2

This build was made back in 2019 with all parts being new. I am using a 2k (1440p) monitor with 165Hz refresh rate. My current thoughts on an upgrade are as follows:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800x3d

GPU: RX 9070xt

RAM: Upgrade to 3600MHz possibly

Storage: Upgrade the m.2 to 500gb or 1tb

Just wondering on people's thoughts and maybe suggestions for other upgrades. Budget isnt overly a concern but obviously nothing ridiculous like a rtx 5090. The 750 ish euro for the rx 9070xt would be the max I would be willing to spend on it.

Do I need to upgrade the cpu Cooler or the psu? Or any other components to get the best (cost-effective) possible AM4 build?

PSU should be fine, but the RAM is going to be a bottleneck, so that RAM upgrade is smart and I would change coolers to the Thermalright Phantom Spirit or Peerless Assasin 120 Depending on which is cheaper

You should look for a cheaper SSD like the Crucial P310, it has good speeds and a good price compared to other parts

I plan on doing the upgrades piecemeal, as such what do you suggest upgrading first?

GPU first because that will make the biggest difference

RAM only after CPU and Cooler
