I'm looking to upgrade some parts of my PC and would love your insights on whether the components I'm considering are a solid upgrade and future-proof for when I eventually change my GPU. Currently, I have an i7 4790 paired with an RTX 3060, and I'm planning to upgrade my CPU, which means I'll also need a new motherboard and RAM. Here's what I'm thinking about:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 7600X processor (4.7 GHz, 32 MB L3)
- **RAM:** Corsair Vengeance, 2x 8 GB, DDR5, 5200 MHz, CL40
- **Motherboard:** Asrock B650M Pro RS AMD B650 AM5 micro ATX
I believe my power supply is still good, as it's relatively new, and I plan to keep my current SSD and HDD until I upgrade to PCIe NVMe. Any advice on this setup or if I need to consider anything else would be greatly appreciated!

Make sure to check how much that RAM costs. Going for 32 GB is generally a great idea nowadays, especially for gaming and multitasking!
If your power supply is pretty old—around 10 years—you might want to consider replacing it. A reliable PSU is crucial, especially when upgrading parts. Just something to think about!
I actually got a new PSU about 2 years ago, it's from the Proton series. Should be good, right?
It’s around 124€.
