I built my PC in 2020 with my sister, and I'm not really savvy with computer specs. Lately, it hasn't been performing as well, but I'm uncertain if it's due to my internet connection or if the PC is just getting older. Here are some specs I found: Intel Core i5-10600K CPU, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER GPU, 16 GB RAM, and an MSI MPG Z490 Gaming motherboard. Any advice on whether I should upgrade or if I can hold out a bit longer would be appreciated! Thanks!

It really depends on what games you're playing at the moment. Your specs are solid for mid-tier gaming, and the RTX 2070 SUPER can handle quite a few games on decent settings. Unless you're trying to push max settings or play the latest AAA titles, you might not need to upgrade just yet.
Your current setup is decent, but it might start to show some age with newer games. If you're looking for a noticeable boost, consider getting a used RTX 3060 Ti or 3070. Just be aware that you'll need to upgrade your motherboard, CPU, and RAM to switch from DDR4 to DDR5 if you want to future-proof your system.
As a heads-up, the 3060 Ti is only about 15% faster than your 2070 SUPER, while the 3070 or 4060 Ti offer about a 30% improvement. If you can wait a bit longer, you might see better options in the market soon!
