I'm looking for advice on upgrading my low-end PC. Here are my specs: I have a Ryzen 7 3700X CPU, a GeForce GTX 1660 Super GPU, 16GB of DDR4 3800MHz RAM, an 850W ASUS ROG Strix power supply, and a Gigabyte B450M DS3H WiFi motherboard. I've also got 6 RGB fans with 10 lighting options and 2TB of storage. What should I prioritize changing or upgrading?

Don't forget to factor in your budget! You mentioned around $700, which is definitely enough to get a decent GPU or CPU upgrade.
If you can swing it, I had great success with a 5800X3D and a 4070 GPU. My performance has been amazing since!
It seems like your best bet is to upgrade the GPU. Anything from the Nvidia 4070 and up, or AMD 7700XT and higher, would make a noticeable difference in performance.
If you're looking for a solid upgrade, consider the 5700X3D and pairing it with a used 3080 or 6800 XT. Those GPUs should provide excellent FPS!
Honestly, I think upgrading to a Ryzen 5700X3D would really boost your performance. Pair that with a solid GPU that fits your budget, like something from the RX 7800 XT or 7900 XT range, and you’ll have a beast of a machine!
What kind of performance can I expect with those upgrades?
