I'm looking to boost my PC's performance for running games like Marvel Rivals, CS2, League of Legends, Call of Duty, and Rainbow Six at 1080p, with the potential to go up to 1440p in the future. Here are the specs of my current setup:
- CPU: Ryzen 5 2600X
- GPU: RX 550 4GB
- Motherboard: Asus Prime A320M-K
- PSU: nJoy 500W
- RAM: 8GB 3200MHz DDR4 (1x8)
- Storage: 256GB M.2 Kingston SSD + 2x500GB HDD
I'm based in Hungary and don't have a strict budget, but I'm considering something reasonable, like around €1300.

You should definitely upgrade your RAM to 16GB in dual-channel configuration for better overall performance. And if possible, upgrade your storage to a faster NVMe SSD for your OS and games; it makes a big difference in load times. Just make sure your motherboard supports it!
If you're looking for a specific recommendation, consider getting a Ryzen 5 5600X paired with a solid GPU like the GTX 1660 Ti. This combo should handle most games at 1080p easily. Also, think about switching those HDDs to SSDs for quicker load times. Make sure to upgrade your PSU to around 650W as well to fully support your new parts!
Definitely focus on upgrading your GPU since that's crucial for gaming performance. You'll also want to bump your RAM up to at least 16GB, or even 32GB if your budget allows it. Don't forget, if you upgrade the GPU, you might need to replace your PSU to support it properly. This upgrade will give you a nice performance boost!
Thanks! I'll prioritize the GPU upgrade, then.
Great idea! I’ll look into the SSDs too.
