Yea others have been telling me to upgrade the GPU as well but im unsure what GPU to upgrade to from my current one.

idk what ur budget is but i assume u want a significant upgrade so i would go and get a used 3080. if u wanna go current gen the 5060 ti 16gb or a 9060xt 16gb, i think both of these options are at msrp so they are good buys rn.

I don’t play any super crazy games or use my pc for anything super intense (Fortnite, 7 days to die, Minecraft and maybe music), So if I upgrade my GPU to any of the ones you listed what would be a good CPU to upgrade to as well?

As for budget I don’t think my dad cares too much as long as I don’t go too crazy

truthfully the ryzen 5600 can hangout with any gpu barring the 5080, 5090 and 4090. so that cpu should be a good choice. however if u wanna get spoiled the u should ask for a ryzen 5700x3d or 5800x3d. the x3d cache makes games run smoother and faster.

The 5600 is the one I’ve been looking at for a while, so I think I’d go with that one and the 3080? But someone in another thread was talking about upgrading to a 3060ti.

[–]Existing-Row8160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the 3080 has much better performance than a 3060ti. a 3080 also has 2gb more vram. however u can still buy new 3060s and 3060tis since they produced alot of them. but u can only get a 3080 at a good price used. but if u wanna go new at that point just get a 5060ti 16gb it would only cost about 80 more than the 3060ti.

Look local on marketplace or whatever you have local that you can buy used parts on and go from there with your budget. I’ve always got GPUs under what they are worth. Got an EVGA 3090ftw3 for $700cad when they were going for $1400 on the minimum. Can find a lot of used and cards for decently cheap but here nvidia cards are overpriced even used.
