Hey everyone! I'm pretty new to the PC building scene and I'm looking to upgrade some parts of my machine. I primarily use it for gaming, playing titles like Overwatch, League of Legends, and Marvel Rivals. While it performs well enough, I know there's room for improvement. Here are my current specs:
- CPU: Intel i5-6500
- GPU: Nvidia RTX 3060
- Motherboard: MSI Z270i Gaming Pro Carbon AC
- RAM: XPG Gammix 16GB (2x8GB)
- PSU: EVGA 500W 80+ Certified
What parts would you recommend upgrading? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Honestly, if it’s working fine for you, there’s no need to rush into upgrades. But if you’re looking for smoother performance or are planning to play more demanding games, consider asking yourself what your budget is. It can help narrow down the best options!
Yeah, what’s your budget for upgrades? If you can only spend around $400-500, you might want to prioritize your GPU or RAM for a noticeable boost.

I was thinking around that too, maybe not going over $500 for a single part.
