I'm considering upgrading my gaming PC and would love some advice. Here are my current specs:
- **CPU:** Intel Core i3 10105F
- **Motherboard:** ASUS PRIME H510M-D
- **Memory:** 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200 MHz Corsair RAM
- **GPU:** ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
- **500GB SSD** from GoodRam (holding Windows and games like CS2 and Valorant)
- **1TB HDD** mainly for storage of clips and games with mods (like Assetto Corsa and Project Zomboid)
I've had this setup for about three and a half years now. I bought it pre-built at a good price, but I didn't really understand much at that time. I feel like my CPU could be holding me back, but I'm not sure about the other components. Would appreciate any suggestions on what I should upgrade!

With your current setup, I’d suggest considering a B550 motherboard and a Ryzen 5 5600(X). The AM4 platform has really performed well over the years, especially with DDR4 memory. For GPU, if you can find it at a decent price, the RX 6600 XT 16GB would be fantastic. Alternatively, an 8GB card could suit you just fine, depending on what you’re looking for.
It looks like you'll need to upgrade your motherboard and GPU. Depending on its quality, you might also want to consider a new PSU. I'd recommend looking at platforms like LGA1700 and AM4. Since you've got 16GB of fast DDR4 RAM already, that's a plus! If you can provide a budget, I could give you more tailored suggestions.
