Hey everyone! I have an NZXT prebuilt system from October 2019 that's starting to feel a bit sluggish with the latest games. Here are my specs:
- **Case**: NZXT H510i (Black - Red)
- **CPU Cooling**: NZXT Kraken M22 (I've switched to a stock air cooler due to issues with the liquid cooler)
- **Motherboard**: MSI MPG X570 GAMING EDGE WIFI (Black)
- **GPU**: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER - EVGA BLACK
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core 3.6GHz
- **Power Supply**: Seasonic PRIME Ultra 650W Gold
- **RAM**: G.SKILL TridentZ RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB) 3200MHz
- **SSD**: Intel 660p 1TB and Samsung 860 EVO 250GB
I'm looking for some advice on the best way to upgrade and boost performance. Thanks for any tips!

First off, what's your budget for the upgrade? That'll significantly influence the best options for you! If you're looking for something inexpensive, consider swapping your CPU to an AMD Ryzen 5700X3D or 5800X3D and bumping your RAM to 32GB, focusing on GPU if possible.
I don't really have a hard budget, but I'm leaning towards long-term value rather than just cheap parts!
