I'm looking for advice on which components to upgrade in my gaming PC setup. I want to approach this gradually, as I'm not looking to spend a lot all at once. My primary games include Rust, Battlefield 6, and PUBG, and I want to ensure smooth performance. Here's my current configuration:
- Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-AB350M-HD3, DDR4
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (3.2/3.6 GHz AM4)
- RAM: KINGSTON HyperX Predator (2x8GB, DDR4)
- Graphics Card: ASUS GTX 1050 Ti Phoenix (4GB)
- HDD: WD Blue 1TB
- SSD: Team Group L5 Lite 3D (120GB)
- Power Supply: VGA 450B (450W, 80+ Bronze)
Thanks for your help, and apologies for any beginner mistakes!

Honestly, you're due for an upgrade on both your GPU and CPU. The GTX 1050 Ti and Ryzen 5 1600 are a bit dated for today's gaming. If you can, aim for something like a Ryzen 5 5600X and a decent GPU like the RTX 3060 or even a 5700 XT. It'll give you a solid performance boost! Just keep in mind your current power supply might limit your choices, so plan accordingly.
That's good to know! If I upgrade the power supply too, what other parts should I consider?
