I bought this prebuilt PC a few months ago and I'm wondering whether any upgrades would be worthwhile. It has an Intel Core i7-14700F, Radeon RX 7800 XT, 32GB of DDR5-5200 memory, a Kingston 2TB NVMe SSD, and an Asus ROG Strix B760-A Gaming WiFi motherboard. I mainly want better gaming performance, but I'm not sure what component is currently limiting the system or whether I should upgrade anything at all.

Before spending money inside the case, consider whether your monitor is the actual upgrade opportunity. A better 1440p display—or an OLED if your budget allows—can be much more noticeable than a small component upgrade. If your current screen is already good, keep the system as-is and upgrade the GPU later when you need more performance.
I’m still fairly inexperienced with PC building, so I wasn’t sure which part mattered most. I’ll check my monitor and current gaming resolution before buying anything.
