I just scored a 9060 XT 16GB at MSRP and I'm looking to upgrade my system to make the most of it. My current setup includes a Ryzen 5 3600, Nvidia 2060, a B450 motherboard (I think it's DDR4), and 16GB (2x8) RAM. Can anyone recommend a new motherboard, CPU, and RAM that would work well with this card?

If you're looking for something a bit higher-end, go for the Ryzen 7 7800X3D or even the 9800X3D if your budget allows. And don’t forget about upgrading to DDR5 RAM along with a motherboard that supports AM5 and DDR5. The ROG B850 is a good option!
Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! I’m thinking of doing a full upgrade at once to get the best performance.
You should definitely consider getting a Ryzen 7 5700X3D. It's a solid choice that should work great with your new GPU! Plus, if you're not in a rush, you can keep your current setup until you’re ready to switch everything out later.
Just upgrading your CPU to a 5700X or the X3D version and adding another 16GB stick of RAM would make a big difference. That way, you'll have 32GB total, which is more than enough for most gaming needs!
