What specifically do you think is bottlenecking your system? From what you mentioned, it sounds like there might not be a clear bottleneck. Your setup seems pretty balanced, but some say the CPU might be holding it back a bit.
Every PC faces bottlenecking at some point. A solid approach would be to get hardware that aligns with your performance goals. I’d suggest looking at an R7 5800XT for around $160, which could really help out your current build. After that, consider putting the rest of your budget towards a more powerful GPU, maybe an RX 9060XT 16GB or RTX 5070. These upgrades could make a big difference!
Thank you so much for your response!
My friends keep telling me that my CPU is my bottleneck.
