I'm looking for some advice on which PC component I should consider upgrading next. I mainly use my computer for gaming, watching movies, and light work tasks. I game on a pretty standard 144Hz 1080p monitor, so I don't have anything too high-end. My current setup handles the games I play just fine, like typical FPS titles and visual novels, but I'm curious about where my system might be lacking. Here are my specs:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
- RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance 3600MHz
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
- Motherboard: Micro ATX GIGABYTE B550M
- Storage: Totaling 2.5 TB across HDDs, SSDs, and M.2 SSDs, which is more than enough for me.
What do you think would be the best weak point to address?

I'd recommend looking at upgrading your CPU and motherboard first. With the Ryzen 5 3600, you're already a bit behind on performance compared to newer CPUs.

I figured it was the CPU - which I know the least about out of all PC components.
