Hey there! I'm trying to decide if I should simply upgrade my GPU for my current PC that I built back in 2020, or if I should just build a completely new system with the latest hardware. Initially, I built my setup for 1080p, but I recently got an amazing deal on a 1440p monitor. While I can run pretty much any game on 1440p, I'm not able to achieve the graphics quality I want. Here are my current specs:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600x
- Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F
- RAM: 16 GB 3600 Mhz Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO
- GPU: RTX 3060 12GB
I'd really appreciate any advice you have! Thanks!

No need to overthink it, just pop in a new GPU and you'll be good to go!
If you want to play games smoothly on 1440p, upgrading just the GPU is the way to go!

What GPU would you suggest for a budget around $500-$700? Or do you think that's too low for a decent upgrade?
