I'm trying to figure out if my current PC is considered low-end or high-end. It runs games like Cyberpunk, but I've noticed it's been overheating sometimes. Here's my setup: I have an Intel Arc A580 GPU and a Ryzen 5 7600 CPU, with an A620M S2H motherboard. The CPU fan is a SI-100 white ARGB, my power supply is a MAG A650BN, and my case is a Cooler Master Q300L V2 micro ATX. I'm planning to upgrade, especially the GPU, since I've heard that's where I need improvement. But first, I want to know if my current specs are decent or not. Also, I'm facing a ram shortage which is delaying my new build.

Honestly, this looks like a low-end PC right now, but a simple GPU upgrade could push it into the mid-range category. Something like a 5070 or 9060XT could really boost your performance.
If your PC is overheating, you definitely need to look into your cooling setup. That case you're using isn’t great for airflow, which might be contributing to the overheating issue. Have you checked the thermal paste on your CPU? Sometimes, a quick redo can bring down those temps significantly.
It's also worth checking what monitor you’re using because that can make a difference in performance perception. And remember, all those 'unimportant' parts like cooling and power supply matters a lot! They can affect performance if they’re not up to the task.
Your CPU is pretty solid and can definitely handle a better GPU. Right now, it seems like the GPU is really what's dragging your performance down. Also, can you share how much RAM you have? That could really affect things too.
I'd say this setup is decent for 1080p gaming and even some entry-level 1440p. If it's running your games at 60 fps and looks good to you, there's no need to stress too much. But yeah, upgrading that GPU would be a good move for better performance.
