I need some help figuring out what to upgrade next on my PC. It's been running a bit slow lately, and I'm not sure where to start. I'm mainly using it for gaming and don't really have a specific budget in mind. Here are my current specs:
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core at 3.70 GHz
- RAM: 32.0 GB DDR4
- Storage: 932 GB SSD Samsung 990 PRO 1TB and 932 GB WDC SSD
- Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (12 GB)
- PSU: DEEPCOOL 80W
- Cooler: NZXT KRAKEN 120
Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Definitely check your power supply, as that may be holding back upgrades. For gaming, upgrading the GPU would probably give you the best performance boost. No budget constraints mean you can consider some of the higher-end options!
It really comes down to what you use your computer for. If it's mainly for gaming, I’d suggest looking into upgrading your power supply and maybe your GPU. Something like a 9060 XT or 5070 would work well with your current CPU.
I'd echo the suggestion to focus on a new PSU and GPU. A stronger graphics card can make a big difference in gaming performance. The models mentioned like the 5060 Ti or a 9070 would be solid options for your setup.
Thanks for the tips! I’ll look into those GPUs and ensure my PSU can handle the new hardware.
