If you're looking for specific parts, here are some options:
- Option 1: RX 7600 GPU (~$280)
- Option 2: Ryzen 7 5800XT CPU + RTX 5060 Ti 16GB GPU (~$570)
- Option 3: Ryzen 7 5700X3D CPU + RTX 5070 Ti GPU + 850W PSU (~$1200)
- Option 4: Ryzen 7 5700X3D CPU + RTX 5080 GPU + 1000W PSU (~$1830)
These should give you a performance boost depending on your budget.
I’d recommend starting with your GPU for the biggest boost in performance. After that, if your budget allows, consider upgrading the CPU.
Can you suggest which GPU would be a good upgrade?
Thanks for the detailed options! This really helps me plan what's next.
