I've had my PC for a while now and have only upgraded the GPU and CPU for better performance. However, I feel like it's still struggling with newer games, even though I bought the CPU this year and it meets the recommended specs for Monster Hunter Wilds. I think I might need to upgrade almost everything, but I'm unsure where to start. I'm not looking for specific parts, just a priority list of what to upgrade first. Here's what I currently have:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 3.4 GHz 8-Core Processor
- Cooler: The cooler that came with my old CPU (can't recall the name)
- GPU: Gigabyte EAGLE OC GeForce RTX 3060 12GB
- Motherboard: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4
- Power Supply: unspecified, but it's 600W
- RAM: 2x Kingston KHX3200C18D4/8G
I usually ask my friend for help, but he's busy right now, so I'm hoping for some advice here.

Upgrading to 32GB of RAM would definitely help your performance, and it's an easy addition. You could consider upgrading your GPU, but be cautious; if you get a more powerful one, it might be too much for your current power supply. Just a heads up, check your case size too, as some GPUs can be large!
Thanks for the tip! For the RAM, would it be better to stick with 4x8GB or just go for 2x16GB instead?
