Hey everyone! My PC is starting to struggle with modern games, and I've just come into £500 to make some upgrades. I usually play at 1080p and here are my current specs:
* RTX 3060 12GB
* Ryzen 5 5600X
* 16GB DDR4 RAM @ 3600
* 650W inwin PSU
* Gigabyte A520M S2H motherboard
Any suggestions on how to best spend this money? Thanks a lot in advance!

Huge thanks for all the advice! I'm set on getting the 9060XT. I was already leaning that way, so it's great to hear it's a solid choice!

Definitely go for the 9060XT! It’ll give you a significant performance boost thanks to its extra VRAM.

If you're looking for specific parts, check out this link for the ASUS Dual OC GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB. It's a solid choice!

Just a quick heads up, make sure you grab the 16GB version of the 9060XT, since the 8GB variant isn't worth the money.

Upgrading to a 9060XT 16GB and adding another 16GB of RAM would turn your PC into a 1080p powerhouse for about £500. With that setup, you could even consider pushing to 1440p and still get great performance in games!
