Hey everyone! I'm still getting the hang of PC building, and my friend helped me put together my rig. I have an RX 7600 GPU, Ryzen 7 5800X CPU, MSI B550 A Pro motherboard, 64GB of DDR4 RAM (I know, that sounds like overkill!), and 3TB of SSD storage. I'm curious about how I can boost my gaming performance. For example, I play 7 Days to Die and usually get around 40-60 FPS on medium settings. I'm not sure what upgrades to prioritize or if I should focus on a new GPU, but would that require a new motherboard and CPU too? Any advice on how to approach this would be great!

Given your specs, your GPU seems to be the bottleneck. I'd recommend upgrading that first since GPUs are generally interchangeable with your motherboard. Just make sure your PSU can handle the new card! You'll likely see a big improvement in FPS. Just stick to a strong PSU, and you'll be set!
Definitely consider upgrading your GPU! It sounds like your current one isn’t cutting it for the games you're playing. Your NZXT C850 PSU should be more than enough for a decent new GPU. Focus on that first; it'll improve your performance significantly without needing to swap out your motherboard or CPU.
