Hey everyone! I'm currently running a setup with a B550 Gaming xv2 motherboard, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, a Ryzen 5 5600 CPU, a Bequiet 450W power supply, a Ventum 200 ARGB case, a 1500GB SSD, and an RX 6600 graphics card. I'm looking to upgrade my PC but I'm not sure which component to tackle first. Right now, I'm gaming at 1080P, but I want to move to WQHD in the future. Any advice on where I should start? Thanks in advance!

I recommend starting with your graphics card. Upgrading from the RX 6600 to either the RX 9060 XT (around $350-400) or the RX 9070 XT (for about $720) would give you a significant boost in performance. The 9060 XT could be about twice as fast as your current card, and the 9070 XT is even more impressive, roughly three times faster! If your budget allows, that’s definitely the way to go. After that, you might look at upgrading your CPU to a 5700X3D for around $250 as the next step.
You could also consider adding more memory. Going up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM (3200 MHz CL16) alongside upgrading to the 9060 XT would really help improve overall performance and future-proof your setup.
