Hey everyone! I'm considering upgrading my PC, and I'd love to get your opinions. Currently, I have a 12th Gen Intel Core i5-12600KF CPU, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GPU, 16GB of Dual-Channel DDR4 RAM at 1596MHz, and an ASUSTeK PRIME B660M-K D4 motherboard. What should I focus on upgrading? I appreciate any thoughts or recommendations you might have! :d

You should definitely think about upgrading your RAM first! If your motherboard can handle it, aim for a 32GB DDR4 kit running at 3200-3600MHz. For CPU, you might want to look at a 14th Gen i5 or i7, which would pair nicely with a newer GPU like the 5070. This way, you won't hit a bottleneck and can keep things running smoothly.
Just a heads up, your RAM speed is actually fine; it's showing as 1600MHz because of the DDR technology doubling the effective speed. So, just grab another RAM kit to make it 32GB!
