I recently upgraded to an RTX 4060, knowing there might be a bottleneck issue with my current setup. I'm experiencing lower performance in some games compared to benchmarks I've seen. I suspect it could be my RAM, but I'm unsure where to start with upgrades. Here's my current PC build:
- CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
- GPU: Zotac RTX 4060
- Motherboard: Gigabyte A320M-H
- RAM: HyperX Fury Beast 2x8GB 2666MHz
I'm looking to play games like FFXVI, Red Dead Redemption 2, Clair Obscure Expedition 33, Monster Hunter Wilds, Horizon Forbidden West, and Cyberpunk 2077. What should be my first priority for an upgrade?

It sounds like both your CPU and RAM might be holding you back. I'd recommend upgrading to 32GB of 3200MHz RAM and getting a Ryzen 5 5600 or 5700X if your budget allows. This should definitely help with performance in gaming at 1080p!
You might want to consider upgrading your CPU to a 5600X or 5700X and boosting your RAM to 32GB at 3600MHz to get the best out of your system. If you're ready to spend a bit more, maybe think of upgrading your motherboard too for added compatibility in the future!
Yeah, I've seen a big improvement in my games after switching my CPU and RAM. Definitely worth it!
