I have an Aurora R11 with an Intel i7 10700F, RTX 2060, and 16GB of RAM. It's water-cooled and runs most games quite well, but I want to enhance its performance for higher quality story-driven games without spending a lot. I'm reasonably sure the i7 is fine, but I know the RTX 2060 needs a boost. As for the RAM, I think it could be improved too, but I'm not sure how. I'm also confused about which brands and parts are compatible since I can't find many builds like mine. Most others seem to have a 1660 or lower, or they're not water-cooled. Any advice would be appreciated!

Any GPU should work, but be mindful of your power supply needing to handle the new card. You can check compatibility on Intel's site for your i7 to see supported RAM. Upgrading to 32GB of DDR4 RAM can improve performance significantly. If you're looking to make more substantial upgrades, consider saving up for a new CPU, motherboard, and RAM combo down the line. For now, just focus on upgrading the GPU and RAM first!
Any suggestions on good GPU options?
