I've had my PC for about 4 or 5 years and I'm looking to upgrade it to keep up with new games. Here are my current specs:
- CPU: AMD R5 3600
- GPU: GTX 1660 Ti 6GB
- MOBO: A320M-H
- RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 - 3600MHz
I play at 1080p now, but I'm thinking about moving to 1440p soon. My upgrade budget is around £600-700 ($800-950). Any suggestions?

You might want to consider this build! You can keep your storage, RAM, case, and power supply if they’re up to the task. Check out the link I found: [PCPartPicker Build](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/M4rcrM).
You'll be able to use the 5700X3D with your current motherboard—just make sure to update the BIOS first. For the GPU, both the 9600 XT 16GB and the RTX 5070 or RX 9070 are solid options, but note that you might need a new power supply for the RTX.
Updating the BIOS is totally doable—don't stress it!
If you're willing to stretch the budget a bit, look into getting a 5700X3D CPU along with an RX 9070XT. That combo should handle 1440p gaming really well! Just keep an eye out for the GPU prices; they should be around $700.
Yeah, a good PSU is definitely something to consider if you're going for higher-end GPUs!
