Asked By GamerDude47 On

I've had my computer for about six years without any upgrades, and I'm considering my first upgrade. My current setup includes an i5 10400 CPU, an RX 5600 XT GPU, and 16GB of RAM (2x8GB). Ideally, I would like to upgrade both at the same time, but that's not in my budget right now. If I decide to upgrade the CPU, I'll likely need a new motherboard and RAM, aiming for 32GB total since the price difference isn't too much. What would you recommend: upgrading my CPU first, or should I get a new GPU? Thanks for your help!

It really depends on your gaming preferences. If you're more interested in higher settings and visuals, the GPU should be your focus. On the other hand, if you're struggling with frame rates, the CPU might hold you back. Based on your specs, I think the GPU is the safer upgrade for you right now. Just check to make sure your PSU can handle the new card!
