Hey everyone! I'm looking for some advice on upgrading my PC because I'm really struggling with performance in games lately. Here's what I currently have:
**CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 2600
**GPU:** NVIDIA RTX 2060 (6GB VRAM)
**Motherboard:** Asrock B450m (m-atx)
**Case:** A random Tecware m-atx case
**RAM:** 16GB
**PSU:** FSP Hyper K 600W
I can barely run games like Battlefield 6 without significant frame drops, and even older titles like BF5 can be tough.
There's a sale happening soon, and I'm planning to buy an RTX 5070, upgrade to a Ryzen 7 5700X, get an 850W PSU, and switch to a new ATX case since I think the 5070 might be too big for my current m-atx case.
Do you think these upgrades will be sufficient? Also, will my motherboard work with all these new components? Thanks in advance!

Your new GPU might fit, but it really depends on the specific dimensions of your parts. Check your case specs for the maximum GPU length. Also, don’t forget to update the BIOS on your motherboard; that can help with compatibility for newer graphics cards.
I checked the Asrock website, and while they have updates for the 40 series, there's nothing yet for the 50 series. Does that mean they might not work together?
