I bought a prebuilt gaming PC back in 2020, but I'm finding it hard to keep up with newer games. It's starting to struggle with the demands of modern titles. My current setup includes a Radeon RX 580 GPU and an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-core CPU. I have no clue about the power supply unit (PSU) I have, so it would really help if you could suggest what wattage I'd need for your upgrade recommendations. I'm looking for the best way to enhance my system for gaming, and I appreciate all the help I can get! I'm not very tech-savvy, I just love playing games!

Hey, what's your budget? If you're willing to save up, you can get some really solid upgrades that will let you play most games smoothly and possibly stream too without any hiccups!
Also, which brand is your prebuilt from? If it’s a popular one like Dell or Alienware, they might use parts that can complicate upgrades. But if it’s from CyberPower, you might have better luck with upgrades!
Oh, I hadn't even thought about that! It’s from CyberPower.
I recommend upgrading to a Ryzen 5 5500, 5600G, or ideally the 5600, paired with a Radeon RX 6600. These are great budget options and should work fine with a 500W power supply. That will really boost your gaming performance without breaking the bank!
Thank you so much!
I don't really have a set budget, I'm just ready to save for something that works well and still lets me enjoy gaming!
