Hey everyone! My PC is starting to struggle with modern games, and I've just come into £500 to make some upgrades. I usually play at 1080p and here are my current specs:
* RTX 3060 12GB
* Ryzen 5 5600X
* 16GB DDR4 RAM @ 3600
* 650W inwin PSU
* Gigabyte A520M S2H motherboard
Any suggestions on how to best spend this money? Thanks a lot in advance!

Upgrading to a 9060XT 16GB and adding another 16GB of RAM would turn your PC into a 1080p powerhouse for about £500. With that setup, you could even consider pushing to 1440p and still get great performance in games!
Just a quick heads up, make sure you grab the 16GB version of the 9060XT, since the 8GB variant isn't worth the money.
If you're looking for specific parts, check out this link for the ASUS Dual OC GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB. It's a solid choice!
Definitely go for the 9060XT! It’ll give you a significant performance boost thanks to its extra VRAM.
Huge thanks for all the advice! I'm set on getting the 9060XT. I was already leaning that way, so it's great to hear it's a solid choice!
Also, make sure to check the price difference between the 9060XT and the 9070 base. Just in case you think about moving up to 1440p in the future!
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely look into that.
