I'm looking to upgrade my gaming PC but I'm not really sure which part to focus on. I have a limited budget, ideally under 500 CAD. Here's my current setup:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-core
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Super
- Motherboard: X570 Phantom Gaming 4
- RAM: 16GB total (I plan to upgrade this soon too).
Can anyone suggest what part I should upgrade first and maybe recommend some specific replacements? Thanks a lot!

Upgrading RAM is usually cheaper, but since you're gaming, the GPU is the most critical upgrade. If you're in the CAD market, a 32GB RAM kit is around US$360. With a bit more, you could snag a great GPU like the 9060XT 16GB, which is one of the best options under $400. Try to stretch your budget if you can!
I'd suggest looking at either the RAM or the GPU for an upgrade. Both will help boost your gaming experience, but if you want the most significant performance gain, a GPU upgrade would be the way to go. If you sell your RTX 2060 Super, that could help fund the new GPU too!
