I'm planning my first PC upgrade and I'd love some input on the setup I've chosen. I'm upgrading from a 1660 Super to a Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 7800 XT, and I want to make sure everything will work smoothly. Here's my current setup:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor
- CPU Cooler: ID-COOLING FROSTFLOW X 74.5 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
- Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 AORUS PRO V2 ATX AM4 Motherboard
- Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
- Graphics Card: Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 7800 XT 16 GB Video Card
- Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case
- PSU: MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
- Monitor: Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQ 27.0" 2560 x 1440 165 Hz Monitor
I mainly play Apex Legends but want the option to enjoy single-player games at higher settings. Do you think I need to upgrade the CPU, RAM, or motherboard as well? Thanks for any advice!

That upgrade sounds awesome! You shouldn't have any FPS drops in Apex while playing at 1440p with that new GPU. As for the monitor, it's a solid choice, but make sure the price fits your budget. If you're coming from 1080p, this will be a fantastic step up!
Thanks! I'm really excited for the upgrade! I did some research on monitors but I'll check again to see if I can find anything better.
