Hey everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my gaming setup and need some advice. Here are my current specs:
- GPU: RTX 2060 12GB
- CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X
- RAM: 16GB 3200MHz
- Storage: 1TB HDD (no SSD)
- Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B450M-A II
I want to game at 240Hz on 1080p for titles like Rainbow Six Siege and Subnautica 2. What components should I upgrade to avoid bottlenecking?

Your Ryzen 5 5600X is still a strong performer, but if you're aiming for a big boost, I recommend upgrading to the RX 6800 XT. It can offer a 70% performance increase at 1080p for under $400! Also, consider adding 16GB more RAM to hit 32GB total, which is about $30. Don't forget to grab an M.2 SSD; you can find 1TB ones for under $60, and they'll really speed up your system. Trust me, ditch the HDD for faster load times!
I've never used an AMD card before, is it actually competitive with Nvidia? I'm used to Nvidia and just want to make sure it's worth it.
