I'm currently using an RX 580 GPU that I got from a friend at a great price. However, I've been wondering if my setup is underperforming due to potential bottlenecks. I have an Intel i3-9100F processor and an ASUS EX-H310M-V3 R2.0 motherboard. As a student on a budget, I'm looking for suggestions. Should I focus on saving for more RAM instead of upgrading other components?

Honestly, your i3-9100F is pretty decent and works well with the RX 580 for gaming. If you're looking for cheap upgrades, RAM is probably your best bet. Depending on how much you've got now, consider getting more. If you're multitasking a lot, 16GB (like 2x16GB) is a solid choice; otherwise, 2x8GB should be sufficient for most uses.
Should I just hold off on upgrading anything else and just invest in RAM? I'm currently running 2x8GB and wasn't sure if my other components were limiting my performance.
