Hey everyone! I've had my PC for about 5 years now, and it's not performing as well as it used to, especially when it comes to gaming. I'm wondering if I should focus on upgrading my CPU or GPU. I have a budget of around 350 to 400 euros. Here's my current setup:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
- GPU: AMD Radeon 5600 XT
- Motherboard: ASUS TUF B450 PLUS Gaming
- PSU: Aerocool Lux 550
I mostly play solo games, like Cyberpunk, but I do fine with competitive ones. Any advice would be appreciated!

It really depends on the games you play! If you’re mostly into solo games that are graphics-intensive, I’d suggest upgrading your GPU first, since the 5600 XT is starting to lag behind for gaming in 2025. Just be sure to consider your PSU as well if you're getting a new GPU.
Thanks for the tip! I play a lot of those intensive games, so I'll definitely prioritize the GPU.
