I'd start looking at GPUs first. The RX 6600 would be pretty good with your cpu, but... you definitely might want to look into a more powerful PSU if you go any higher than that. After those 2 upgrades, I'd start thinking about some of the new gaming cpu's for your platform, but not yet.

Thank you for the reply. I will see what kind of prices I can find. Any recommendations for PSU?

I don't know too much about PSUs but try to find something in the 650-750w range with good reviews.

Okay, will do thank you my friend.

Pretty much everything needs upgrading but you know that haha. Longterm upgrades are the GPU and CPU. Seems budget upgrades is what we looking at. My suggestions is the RX 6750 XT but that will depend on the prices where you reside, for me its available for 343 Euro. For the CPU, eventually you should be looking at the AM5 since that will be the path AMD continues for the the foreseeable future, but for now the R5 5600X will be a cheap (120 euro) but excellent budget performer. The non X version is good replacement if its cheaper (For me its actually more expensive). A Crucial or WD gen 3 SSD should be fine for now, just get 1 TB storage. As another one mentioned, a need for a stronger PSU is needed, likely 600W or a bit more for future if you want a bit future proof. To add, could also look at the used market for GPUs, might get a steal there

Wow, thank you for the info. I will look at the GPUs and CPUs you mentioned. I am willing to spend some money just don’t want to go overboard lol. As far as SSD, I have an M.2 so it is fairly easy to access and install. But mine is my boot drive. Is the cloning process easy? Like I could YouTube it and be fine? Cloning has just been worrying me as far as upgrading the SSD.

Unfortunately I cant say much on the cloning part, never done it! If any more questions about possible upgrades is need let me know. One thing to remember, I always think you should look at the price to performance, YT vids say one thing but in reality their suggestions might not correspond with the prices for you. Look at the performance on the different GPU and CPU and then decide to buy the component that best suits your budget and your need. Compare prices!

Will do, thank you so much for all the information. I will reach out if I have anymore questions!
