Hey everyone! I'm curious if my current setup is capable of running the latest games. Here are my specs: I've got an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, an ASUS GTX 1070 with 8GB, and 32GB of RAM. I'm also wondering if there are any upgrades I can make without spending too much. Any thoughts?

Your setup is decent, but it’s not going to handle every new game perfectly. You might struggle with some graphically intensive titles. If you're looking to upgrade without a big cost, I'd recommend a quicker SSD, but keep in mind that it won't drastically improve gaming performance. With 32GB of RAM, your system is sufficient, but you'd likely need to spend more than you think for a real upgrade.
It really depends on the games you play. For CPU-intensive games like Minecraft, you might want to consider upgrading to a Ryzen 7 5700X. If you're more into GPU-heavy games, something like the Arc B580 could be a solid budget option. Just keep in mind the balance between your budget and what you're trying to achieve.
You can expect decent performance at 1080p, mostly on medium settings. I'd suggest trying out the games you're interested in first before rushing to upgrade. If they run okay, you might not need to change anything just yet. But yeah, the new Unreal Engine 5 games might give you a tough time with your current rig.
What should I upgrade for better performance?
Honestly, your computer can run most new games, but you might have to adjust some settings to medium or low for better performance. If you’re thinking about upgrades, the used graphics cards market has some great deals. You can find a 6600XT for around $200 or a 3070 for about $350. Just check your budget before diving in!
