Hey folks! I'm considering some upgrades to enhance my PC's performance, especially for gaming titles like iRacing. My goal is to achieve higher FPS and less stuttering, and ideally, I'd like to make sure my setup is future-proof for the years to come. Here are my current specs:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 3600
- **GPU:** Zotac RTX 2070 Super
- **RAM:** Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3200MHz CL16
- **Motherboard:** MSI B450 Bazooka V2
- **PSU:** (unsure of the brand/wattage, can check if necessary)
- **Storage:** Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500GB NVMe
- **Monitor:** Samsung Gaming 34" Odyssey G5 LC34G55TWWRXEN (3440x1440 @ 165 Hz)
- **PSU Rating:** 80 Gold
Any suggestions on upgrades that could deliver better performance?

You might want to verify your PSU's wattage, as an 850W unit should be enough for most setups. It's crucial to get one that will adequately support your upgraded components to prevent any issues. Let me know if you need help picking one!
First off, updating the BIOS can make a big difference in performance. If you want a powerful CPU, consider switching to a Ryzen 7 5700X3D for better gaming performance. For your GPU, check out the hierarchy on [Tom's Hardware](https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html) and choose one that fits your budget and power supply. Speaking of which, if your PSU isn't already 850W, I recommend getting one to ensure stability with any upgrades.
