I'm currently using an Intel i5-10400F paired with a H410M-E motherboard, an RX 6600 graphics card, and 32GB of DDR4 RAM. I've been getting around 120 FPS on the lowest settings without frame generation. I'm looking to boost that number and potentially reach closer to 200 FPS while improving the visuals a bit so the game doesn't look terrible. I have a budget of 600 AUD and I'm trying to decide whether to upgrade my GPU to something like the 9060 XT 16GB or go for a new CPU and motherboard instead. What's the best path for pure performance?

You could consider upgrading to a Ryzen 7500F which is around 180 AUD, and pair it with a motherboard for about 129 AUD. If you factor in some good RAM, you could do all that for about 520 AUD. This way, you keep your current GPU or even look into a new one later!
If you’re not opposed to replacing both the CPU and GPU, consider selling your current parts for about 350 AUD to help fund the upgrade. You could use that along with your budget for a solid new setup. Just keep an eye out for deals on the 9060 XT, or even consider alternatives like an Arc B580 if you want something different.
Before jumping into upgrades, check your current GPU usage in Marvel Rivals. If it's hitting 95-100%, then upgrading your CPU could offer more performance. If you’re looking at potential upgrades, the 9060 XT 16GB is a solid option and you can find it for about 569 AUD. Just remember, sometimes you can catch it on sale for even less!
Yeah, I would definitely monitor the usage first. If your GPU is maxed out, then an upgrade there might be the way to go!
