I'm looking to upgrade my PC and need some advice. Here are my current specs:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 4100
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
- PSU: 550W
- CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
I'm thinking of upgrading my GPU to something like the GTX 5060 and my PSU to a 750W model. I've got a budget of $400 for the GPU. I'm also uncertain about whether I should upgrade my CPU alongside these changes. If it's necessary, I'm open to doing it, but I want to avoid any hassle with Windows installations. Additionally, I'm eyeing a 2k 32-inch curved monitor with a 165Hz refresh rate. Any guidance would be appreciated!

For that curved 165Hz monitor, you'd ideally want at least an RTX 5070 with 12GB of VRAM. Otherwise, the 5060 might not give you the quality you're looking for; it’s more suitable for 1080p gaming. Just a heads-up!
Got it! I might just stick with 1080p and go for a 1080p monitor instead.
