I'm looking for advice on my current PC specs and what upgrades I should consider for next year. I'm worried about potential price hikes due to AI developments. Here are my specs: I have an RTX 3060 Ti, a Ryzen 5 5600X, 16GB of RAM, and a storage setup consisting of a 512GB SSD and a 3TB HDD. My setup can run new games on 1080p and 1440p, but sadly it can't handle 4K. I recently installed Windows 11. What are your thoughts on how good my PC is and what upgrades might be worthwhile?

I've got a Ryzen 5 5600X paired with a 6750 XT, and it's great for 1440p gaming on a B450 motherboard with 32GB of RAM. A GPU upgrade would definitely help improve your performance for sure!
Your PC is a solid mid-range system but it's getting a bit outdated. A GPU upgrade could be your best bet to boost gaming performance, but upgrading the CPU might not be cost-effective right now. Just something to keep in mind!
I only upgraded my motherboard, and it made a noticeable difference!
Your setup is a bit better than a PS5, so it should hold up until the next generation of consoles comes out if you're planning to stick with it for a while.
I just want to upgrade next year without breaking the bank!
I have a 5800 XT and 5060 Ti, and they're running smoothly. If you're considering an upgrade, maybe look at the 5060 Ti, 5070, or 9070 XT. I've gone with an 8-pin model, but you could choose one with a 12V600 connector if that interests you.
Will this setup handle games like Requiem and GTA 6 well? What about Tekken 8 in 4K?
I hope prices don’t skyrocket due to AI advancements!
