I'm looking for some guidance on how to upgrade my PC since I have no experience with this kind of thing. Here are my current specs: I'm running an AMD Ryzen 5 5500 processor with 12 cores at 4.2 GHz and I have 16 GB of 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM. My graphics card is an AMD Radeon RX 6700 with 10 GB dedicated memory. I'm using Windows 11 on a 1080p 144 Hz monitor.
I'm not sure where to start with the upgrades. Should I just upgrade my GPU, or do I need to think about upgrading my CPU as well? What GPU upgrade would you recommend? And will my RAM need to be upgraded, too? Ideally, I'd like to stay within the AMD ecosystem. Would it be better to consider building a whole new PC instead? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!

If you're looking to upgrade, consider getting a CPU with a 'G' suffix, like the 5600 or 5700. For the GPU, you might want to look into something like a used 4070 or better. That should give you a solid boost in performance!
You mean like second-hand hardware?
