Hey everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my PC, but I'm feeling a bit lost on which parts to focus on. My setup includes a 1440p monitor and I have a budget of around 500 euros. Here are my current specs: I have an MSI B550 GAMING GEN3 motherboard, 32GB of G.Skill DDR4 RAM, an XFX Radeon RX 7600 XT graphics card, an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 processor, and a couple of Kingston SSDs for storage. I also have a Corsair 650W power supply and a Corsair 4000D Airflow case. Any advice on what components I should prioritize for the best performance upgrade? I'd really appreciate it!

I think your best bet is to prioritize upgrading your GPU first. The RX 7600 XT can handle 1440p gaming, but you'll likely want something beefier for better settings. If you can go for a 5700X3D processor, that would definitely help too! Then start saving for a bigger jump like a 9070 or 9070 XT once you sell your current card. Just keep in mind your budget as well!
Honestly, your setup is still pretty solid. If I were you, I'd consider upgrading the GPU first if you want better performance, but if you're not facing major issues gaming at 1440p, maybe just hold off for now. Sometimes, it's not worth swapping parts just for a minor gain, especially since your other components are quite nice!
That’s a good point! If nothing is bottlenecking right now, it might be smarter to wait and save a bit more.
True, getting a more powerful GPU would make a big difference. Just be sure to check compatibility with your motherboard!
