Hey everyone! I'm looking for some advice on upgrading my PC to enhance my gaming experience. I mainly play games on Steam with friends, but I've noticed that titles like Helldivers 2 and Deadlock are running quite poorly. I'm curious about what components I should look at upgrading to get better performance. Here's a recap of my current build:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core
- **CPU Cooler**: AMD Wraith Prism 2800 CFM
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B450 AORUS PRO WIFI
- **Memory**: Corsair Vengeance RGB RT 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600
- **Video Card**: MSI VENTUS 2X OC GeForce RTX 3050 6 GB
- **Case**: Antec Dark Fleet DF500 RGB
- **Power Supply**: Corsair CX 650 W 80+ Bronze
- **Operating System**: Windows 10 Home
I'm looking for recommendations that could help boost my gaming performance, preferably suggestions that don't break the bank! Thanks!

Your setup has solid components overall, but the weak point is definitely your GPU. Helldivers 2 is pretty GPU-intensive, so upgrading that will help a lot. I'd recommend looking into the AMD Ryzen 5 5700X or 5800X for CPU options. Just make sure to update your BIOS before installing any new CPU. For the GPU, what’s your upgrade budget? You can go wild since the RTX 3050 is really holding you back!
I can spend up to $1000 for the upgrade, looking to keep things future-proof. And yes, I have an SSD installed!
