I'm looking to upgrade my PC because it's starting to feel outdated, especially since I want to play games like Arc Raiders and the upcoming GTA. I know a bit about PC parts but I'm not fully confident in building or upgrading. Here are my current specs: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, Intel i5-9600K @ 3.70GHz, 16GB DDR4 RAM, MSI Z390-A Pro motherboard, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super, and a 1TB WD HDD. What should be my first upgrade? Should I upgrade the GPU, CPU, or is it better to just build an entirely new setup? I'd appreciate any advice!

Since you're dealing with an older PC, I'd recommend upgrading the GPU first. It's often the quickest way to enhance gaming performance without needing to replace everything else. Just keep in mind that upgrading your CPU might also require a new motherboard, which could complicate things. If you see good results from the GPU upgrade, you can think about whether to keep building on that or consider a full overhaul.
That makes sense! I suppose a better GPU will give me immediate improvements, but I'll still need to think about the future and maybe start fresh.
