I bought someone's old gaming PC a while back and have since replaced a lot of the parts. Now, I'm looking to upgrade some components again, but I'm not sure where to start. I mainly want to play new single-player games with high graphics quality.
Here are the current specs of my build:
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor at 3.80GHz
- RAM: 16 GB
- Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER (8 GB)
- Storage: 112 GB SSD and 1.86 TB SSD
- Motherboard: MSI MPG X570 GAMING EDGE WIFI
Any guidance on what components to focus on first would be greatly appreciated!

Definitely think about upgrading your GPU. A 9060 XT or a 5060 TI would be great options. Also, consider adding another 16GB RAM kit to complement what you already have—this could help with multitasking while gaming too.
If you're looking for performance, I'd recommend the Ryzen 5800X and a new graphics card. Something like a 9060 XT is solid but if you really want to future-proof your build, go for a higher-end model. Just be aware of potential bottlenecks depending on the rest of your components!
Start by setting a budget. Figure out what you want to achieve with your upgrades. For example, if you're struggling to run new titles smoothly, focusing on the graphics card and maybe adding more RAM would be smart.
