I'm a complete beginner looking to improve my PC's performance so I can play newer games more smoothly. I had someone build my current setup in 2020, and while it still runs most games okay, I'm struggling with ultra or even high settings on titles like Dragon Age Veilguard, which can get quite choppy. I'm wondering if I can make a significant upgrade with my existing components or if I'll need to start from scratch. I would appreciate any product recommendations! Here are my current specs:
- CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X 8 Core
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070
- RAM: 16GB
- Motherboard: B550i Aorus Pro AX
- Storage: 1TB SSD
- Display: 1440 monitor

Upgrading your GPU will definitely boost your gaming experience! If you let me know your budget and location, I can give you some specific suggestions. Also, consider looking for something like a 9070XT with 16GB, which could work wonders with your setup.
I'm based in the US and would like to keep my budget around $1k, but I'm curious about your recommendations, especially with the GPU shortages right now.
