I'm considering some upgrades for my current gaming setup and would love some advice. Here are my specs:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor
- GPU: RTX 2060 Super
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8GB) 3600MHz C18
- SSD: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB
I mainly want to achieve a solid 60 fps on high settings in most games. Any suggestions on which component I should prioritize upgrading?

First, it would be helpful to know what games you play the most and how they currently perform. You can use HWinfo to identify if your CPU or GPU is causing any bottlenecks, like high temps or if you're maxing out your RAM. That'll give you a clearer direction on what needs upgrading.
It really depends on your budget. With the Ryzen 7 3700X, you should be able to hit 60fps without a problem if you get a more powerful GPU. However, I'd also recommend considering a CPU upgrade, like the Ryzen 5 5700X 3D, especially if you're looking to improve your performance during those intense moments. With the right upgrades, you could aim for 120 or 144Hz gaming at 1080p too!
I think I'm looking to spend around 300-400 euros/dollars for the upgrade.
I checked HWinfo while playing Oblivion Remastered, and my physical memory load peaked at 99.4%. Other than that, nothing seemed too strange, but I’m a bit lost on what it means for upgrades.
