Hey everyone! I'm currently running a Ryzen 5 2600, GTX 1650, and 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 RAM, with an MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max motherboard. I'm hoping to upgrade my PC but I have a limited budget of around 200 to 250 euros. Can anyone recommend some affordable options? I'm mainly gaming on a 60Hz Full HD monitor, so I don't need anything too wild. Also, should I go for 8GB (2x4GB) or 16GB (2x8GB) for RAM?

With that budget, I’d suggest considering a Ryzen 7 5700X along with either a Radeon 6700 XT or the non-XT variant. Just a heads up, you might need to look at used parts for this! Make sure to find reputable sellers in Italy that offer some kind of warranty. Whatever cash you have left can go towards 16GB of RAM (2x8GB) or even 16GB (2x4GB) if you're really tight on funds.
First off, what's your budget and what are you aiming to do with this upgrade? Are you focusing on productivity or gaming, and at what resolution?
I'm looking at around 200/250 euros, I’m from Italy. Primarily gaming, so 1440p might be a stretch for that budget, but I think I can handle the RAM and CPU upgrades.
