I'm having some performance issues running Oblivion on my PC. I'm considering upgrading since I think it's about time to invest a bit. Here's my current setup:
* CPU: i5-9600
* Graphics: Geforce RTX 3060
* Motherboard: ASRock B365 Pro4
* RAM: 8 GB DDR4-2400 (2 sticks)
* Power Supply: EVGA 650 B3
What do you all think? Where should I put my money for the best improvements?

Honestly, your specs aren't terrible, and it's mostly an issue with Unreal Engine 5 not being great with optimization. I'd focus on upgrading your CPU and RAM first. If you're facing stuttering, it might be because of the game's optimization rather than your hardware.
I think you should hold off on upgrading for now. Running DLSS at quality settings at 1080p should be sufficient. If you're getting stutter, it's likely a game issue. But if you're looking to upgrade, consider grabbing 32GB of at least 3200MHz RAM; it's relatively cheap and would give you a decent boost.
Do you really think I need more than 16GB of RAM? I wonder if it’s more about the speed of the RAM sticks.
