Hey everyone! I bought a prebuilt gaming PC about three years ago and I managed to upgrade a few parts before it came. It's been good for the games I usually play, but now I'm facing some newer titles that are more demanding, and my PC is struggling to keep up. I'm completely lost on where to start with upgrades. I don't need the absolute best, but I'd really appreciate some good recommendations on what to upgrade and how to make everything work together. Here are my current specs:
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (6-core)
- Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 5500 (4GB GDDR5)
- Memory: HyperX 16 GB DDR4-3200 RGB SDRAM.
Thanks a lot for any help!

Don’t forget to repaste your CPU! It's crucial for keeping it cool and performing well. As for the GPU, something like the RX 9700 XT would be awesome for high-quality graphics, but if you're on a budget, a second-hand 4070 or a 4060 could work.
If you're considering the 4060, the 4060 Ti isn’t much more expensive and offers significantly better performance. Also, look for the 16GB VRAM version if you can.
I’d recommend upgrading your GPU first. It’ll give you the best performance boost for gaming. Check out the latest models that have come out; there are some great options if you're looking at price points too.
