Hey everyone! I'm currently running a B550 Aorus Pro v2 motherboard with a Ryzen 5 5600 processor and an RX6600 graphics card. Unfortunately, I'm struggling to maintain 60fps at 2K on low settings, and I'm looking to upgrade my setup to handle 2K gaming at high settings with around 120fps for the next 4-5 years. I'm working with a budget of €700-1000. I was considering upgrading to the Ryzen 7 5700X3D CPU and pairing it with a Radeon 7800XT GPU. Do you think that would be sufficient, or should I invest a little more in a 9070XT for better future-proofing? Also, is the 5700X3D a good match for both? Thanks in advance!

Given your budget, I'd recommend focusing on just upgrading the GPU at this time. You could potentially grab a 5070 Ti, 4070 Ti, 7900 XTX, or a 9070 XT for around €1000. You can look into upgrading your CPU, motherboard, and RAM to AM6 in a couple of years when new options come out.
Just wondering, would my current Ryzen 5 5600 bottleneck the new GPU if I only upgrade that? I was thinking of spending a little more to upgrade the CPU as well.
