Hey everyone! I'm not super experienced with PCs, so I could really use some advice on upgrading my setup. I want to stick with DDR4 and an AM4 platform, and my goal is to eventually game at 1440p. Right now, I mainly play Marvel Rivals and Overwatch. I did a bit of research and learned that my GPU is probably the biggest bottleneck, so I think upgrading that should be my first step. After I get a new GPU, I'm planning to upgrade my monitor to a 1440p as well. I would really appreciate any recommendations, especially since I'm in the UK. Thanks a ton! 😄 My current specs are:
- GPU: GTX 1060 6GB
- CPU: Ryzen 5 5600G
- RAM: 32GB DDR4
- Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M K AM4
- Storage: 1TB
- PSU: 650W
- Monitor: 180Hz 1080p

If you're aiming for good performance at 1440p, the RTX 5070 is likely a great choice. It should handle your games really well!
It's important to think about your total budget for the upgrade. Are you looking at about £1,000 for everything, or are you flexible with that?
First off, what's your budget for the GPU upgrade? That'll really help narrow down your options!
I'm looking at around £500-600 for the GPU. I can go a bit over if it's worth it!
Yeah, I can stretch a bit over £1k if needed!
