Asked By TechyNinja42 On

I recently upgraded my setup with an NVIDIA 5060 TI and I'm running a Ryzen 5 5500 along with 16GB of DDR4 RAM powered by a 500W EVGA Bronze+ certified PSU, all on a Gigabyte A520I AC motherboard. With a budget of $247 plus a $75 Amazon gift card, what should I focus on upgrading next?

It might be a tight fit with your budget, but if you're planning a gaming build, consider aiming for an AM5 CPU, motherboard, and RAM upgrade all at once. It's a bigger investment—probably around $400-$500—but doing some research now is a smart move. I’d recommend looking for an R5 9600X, a B650 motherboard, and 32GB of DDR5 RAM for better performance. Also, your current PSU is good for now, but remember that any future GPU upgrade might require a stronger one.

You might want to think about upgrading your power supply first. A stronger PSU could provide a little extra headroom for future upgrades. After that, consider upgrading your CPU alongside a new motherboard and switching to DDR5 RAM. There are upgrade kits available, or you could look for second-hand parts to save some money!
