I'm looking to upgrade my gaming setup and have a budget of $700. Right now, I've got an MSI RX 6600, an Intel Core i7-12700KF, a MSI Pro B660M-A motherboard, 32GB of RAM (2 sticks of 16GB DDR4-3600), a 1TB TEAMGROUP MP33 SLC SSD, a Deepcool Matrexx 40 case, and an Aresgame 550W power supply. What do you all recommend I should focus on upgrading next?

What do you want to achieve with your setup? If you're okay with 32GB RAM, you could add more storage instead, but upgrading to a better GPU is definitely a game-changer. Just keep in mind that you might need a higher wattage PSU if you go that route.
Definitely consider upgrading your power supply first. The Aresgame you have is rated E-tier, which isn’t safe at all. A better PSU would help with stability. I'd recommend looking into a 750W or 850W model. After that, upgrading to a better GPU like the RX 9070 would significantly enhance your gaming experience. You can find one for around $600!
Wow, I had no idea about the PSU rating! Thanks for the heads up!
