I've had my PC for three years now, and while it used to have a problem with the CPU that seems to have resolved itself, I'm looking to improve its performance. It runs games decently, but I sometimes experience frame rate dips and want a smoother, more consistent experience. Below are the specs of my current setup:
- AMD Ryzen 5 5600X CPU
- ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GPU
- 32GB RAM
- 1TB SSD
- Other components like a high-performance CPU cooler and a quality PSU.
With prices being what they are, I'd really appreciate any suggestions on which parts I should focus on upgrading. Thanks a lot!

You might want to focus on your CPU and GPU for the most noticeable upgrades. Moving from a Ryzen 5 5600X to something like a Ryzen 7 5700X or even a Ryzen 9 could really boost your performance. As for the GPU, if you’re looking at better frame rates, consider upgrading to a higher tier, like the RTX 3070 or even the newest generation of cards if your budget allows.
It really depends on what resolution you’re gaming at. If you're at 1920x1080, aiming for a smooth 300+ FPS, then yes, upgrading the GPU would be essential. But remember, the CPU upgrade can also help maintain those frame rates, especially in CPU-intensive games.
