I'm looking to upgrade my PC and I have a budget of £300 to £500. Here's what I've got so far:
- **Processor:** Intel Core i5-9400F @ 2.90GHz
- **RAM:** 32GB
- **Storage:** 224GB SSD, 932GB HDD, 1.82TB SSD
- **Graphics Card:** NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 (6GB)
- **System Type:** 64-bit x64
- **Motherboard:** ASUSTeK PRIME H310M-R R2.0
Someone suggested I should upgrade to the RTX 5060. Do I need to change anything else, like my power supply or motherboard, to make that work?

What do you primarily use your PC for? If it's gaming, a larger SSD and maybe a more recent CPU and motherboard might be a smarter choice than just upgrading the graphics card. Knowing your power supply will help too!
Honestly, I’d advise against the RTX 5060. You could find better value elsewhere. Many gamers have had great experiences with the 5060 Ti 16GB—it runs most games at over 100 fps in 2K!
Yeah, I’ve been using the 5060 Ti too, and it’s definitely worth the investment for performance. Just make sure you’ve got the right setup.
You might need to consider your power supply since you didn’t mention it here. For new GPUs like the RTX 5060 Ti or 9060 XT, a stronger PSU is usually a must. If you're open to secondhand parts, something like the 6700XT can be a good deal around $250!
Also, don’t forget to check your current power supply rating. If it's under 650W, you might need an upgrade!
Mainly gaming! I want to play Borderlands on medium settings. I have 32GB of RAM and enough storage, just need to figure out the power supply.
