I'm trying to decide what to upgrade on my PC since prices are rising. Here's what I'm working with:
- **CPU**: 11th Gen Intel Core i7-11700F @ 2.50GHz
- **RAM**: 16GB
- **GPU**: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (12GB)
- **Motherboard**: ASRock B560M-C
I'd really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

This might not be the best time to upgrade. Prices are tricky right now. I'd recommend focusing on the GPU since RAM might still be a bit pricey and its future prices are uncertain.
What's your budget? Knowing that makes a huge difference. If you’re working with $1,500 like other folks mentioned, you’ll have some solid options for upgrades.
It really depends on your budget and the games you enjoy. If you can spare some cash, adding another stick of RAM could help. A GPU upgrade would also be beneficial, especially if you play demanding games.
I'd suggest starting with the GPU since that's where you'll likely see the biggest improvement. Prices are less volatile on GPUs right now, so it could be a good time for an upgrade.

I have around $1,500 to spend and I'm currently playing games like Valorant and some story-driven titles. Any specific GPU recommendations?
