Hey everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my gaming PC to boost performance, especially for higher FPS in games and to reduce stuttering I've been experiencing. Here's my current setup:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core
- Motherboard: Asus PRIME B350-PLUS ATX AM4
- RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) DDR4-2400 CL16
- Storage: SanDisk Ultra II 480 GB SSD + Western Digital WD_Black SN850X 4 TB NVME SSD + Seagate BarraCuda 2 TB HDD
- GPU: MSI Radeon RX 6800 16 GB
- Case: Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-04
- Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G+ 650 W 80+ Gold
- Monitors: Acer Nitro QG241Y 23.8" 1080p + Acer ED271U 27" 1440p
- Keyboard and Mouse: Redragon K552 & M602
- Headphones: Sennheiser HD 560S
I've been considering upgrading to the AMD 7800X3D or 9800X3D, but that would likely require new RAM, a motherboard, and maybe even a new power supply. My budget is around $1000, but I might wait for Cyber Monday to stretch it further. What do you think? Is it worth upgrading, and what should I focus on first?

Before diving into upgrades, it's crucial to clarify your goals: What are you aiming to achieve with your PC? Depending on whether it's more FPS or resolving stutter, your upgrade might differ.
I want higher FPS and to fix those annoying performance dips I've noticed in games. I'm thinking around $1000, but Cyber Monday might give me more leeway. Thanks for helping!
