I'm looking for some advice on upgrading my PC. I initially thought about just getting a new GPU along with a storage upgrade. However, I'm reconsidering my options. Here's what I'm currently working with: MSI B450M PRO-M2 MAX motherboard, AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, a GTX 1660 SUPER graphics card, a Cooler Master Elite V3 500W power supply, and 16GB of RAM (2x8GB). Is it worth it to upgrade just the GPU, or should I consider other components as well? Also, is sticking with 16GB of RAM still reasonable given current prices?

If you're primarily gaming and happy with your current performance, a new GPU could definitely give you a boost, especially with newer titles coming out. However, upgrading to 32GB of RAM might not be a bad idea in the long run, especially if you multitask a lot while gaming. Just keep an eye on your budget since some things can get pricey.
It might be time for a more substantial upgrade. The Ryzen 5 3600 is solid, but if you’re considering a future-proofing approach, think about getting a newer CPU like the 5800X3D or even going for AM5 if your budget allows. That said, if you stick to 16GB of RAM for now, it should still perform well for most gaming scenarios.
