I'm looking to upgrade my PC to ensure I can comfortably play new games in 2026 with at least 60 frames per second. Here are my current specs: CPU is an AMD Ryzen 5 2600, GPU is an ASUS AMD RX 580 8GB, I've got 8GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 1TB SSD for storage. I'm unsure which component to prioritize for upgrading. Can anyone suggest which parts offer the best performance for the cost and will also be future-proof for the next few years? Thanks!

If you're aiming for better performance, I recommend making the graphics card your top priority. Look into getting an RX 9060XT or an RTX 5060/5060 Ti, as they should give you a solid boost in gaming. After that, upgrading to 16GB of RAM would be a smart move too. Just make sure to check how many RAM slots your motherboard has and whether you're using single or dual sticks right now.
You might want to clarify what games you're looking to play. For example, what settings and resolution? Also, what's your budget for this upgrade? It helps to know what you're aiming for, especially if you want 60 FPS in a single-player game like Far Cry 26.
I'm working with a €300 budget currently, focusing on single-player titles. I just want to make sure I hit that 60 FPS mark!
