I just bought the latest Indiana Jones game for my dad, but unfortunately, his PC can't handle it, so I think it's time for an upgrade. The game requires at least 60FPS in Full HD on high settings, which I don't think his current setup can manage. His specs are: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 CPU, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660Ti GPU, 16GB of RAM, ASRock B450M-HDV R4.0 motherboard, a 256GB NVMe SSD, and a 2TB WD Black hard drive.
To keep costs down, I'm planning to reuse the motherboard and the drives. Here's what I'm looking to add:
- A new CPU + cooler (if needed)
- A new GPU
- A 1TB SSD (the current one is too small for the new game)
- 32GB RAM
- A new PSU
I'm not sure what case he has, but I'll figure that out later. Do you guys think this configuration looks good?

Are you looking to do a complete rebuild, or just upgrading? If you’re keeping the old motherboard and parts, you might want to consider moving to AM5 for better performance in the long run.
Indiana Jones needs a GPU that supports ray tracing to run properly, which might be why it wouldn’t start on your dad’s current setup. Are you thinking about grabbing that RTX 4070 Super new? I heard it’s being replaced by the 5070, which could save you some cash!
I initially planned to buy new, but now I’ll look into the 5070 too. Thanks for the tip!
Make sure to include all the specs of the current system if you want tailored advice! It’ll help you figure out what’s best to upgrade.
Just updated my post with the specs!
I want to save money by using the old motherboard since it supports AM4. I’ll check if that’s enough!
