I'm currently using an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and a Zotac 3060 Twin Edge with 12GB of VRAM. While this setup works for my needs on a budget, I'm looking for some recommendations for affordable upgrades. Here are my specs:
- CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
- GPU: Zotac 3060 Twin Edge 12GB
- PSU: Corsair RM750x
- RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Royal 3600 (16GB total, 2x8GB)
- Motherboard: MSI B450 A-Pro Max
What would you suggest to get some better performance?

I’d suggest upgrading to a Ryzen 5 5600X. It offers a noticeable performance boost and usually costs around $150-$160. It could really help with running newer AAA titles smoothly!
Wow, that's a bit pricier than I expected! I guess the prices fluctuate a lot. Maybe I'll just wait and see if DDR5 RAM prices drop and grab a whole new motherboard with everything else in the future.
I totally get that! The R5 2600 is starting to struggle with some of the latest games, especially when you're seeing CPU usage at high levels. An upgrade definitely seems necessary if you're playing demanding titles!
