I'm looking to upgrade my current setup, which includes a Ryzen 3600X and a GTX 1660 Super. With Prime Day coming up, are there any good deals I should look out for within a budget of $400 to $500?

Before you decide, check what motherboard you have! If it's AM4, I highly recommend the 5800X3D as a fantastic upgrade. And if you’re willing to switch graphics brands, the 9060 XT is going for around $359. If sticking with Nvidia is a must, look for the 5060 with 16GB; it’s around the $450 mark. NewEgg offers trade-in options for your old parts, which could help offset costs a bit.
If you're focusing on the CPU, consider upgrading to a Ryzen 5600X or 5600XT. They offer solid performance boosts, and you might pair that with a decent graphics card like the Radeon 9060 XT with 16GB if you can find it on sale. That combo should greatly enhance your gaming experience without breaking the bank.
The 5800X3D is a great choice! It's slightly over budget, but really worth it if you can find a deal. Just make sure you're ready to clean out any Nvidia drivers if you switch to AMD; there are plenty of guides out there!
