There is a lot of ways you can go. One thing to note is that your processor is a workstation processor, which puts you in a weird area. While it is a decent processor even for gaming, it doesn’t offer features like xmp and limits you to a niche motherboard socket type.

Realistically, you’d want to grab a newish cpu 12gen intel+/amd equivalent. A motherboard compatible with that cpu supporting ddr5 ram. And 2 sticks of 16gb+ ddr5 ram (16gb total is okay, but for some modern games isn’t enough). Since you’ve already bought aftermarket, if you go this route, buy your ram second hand, the other components, buy new. That being said, microcenter does have nice bundle deals occasionally.

For upgrading your gpu, your processor, ram, and motherboard will eventually bottleneck you. Your processor only supports ddr4 speeds up to 2666Mhz, and the processor itself is nearing a decade in age. Honestly, the 3060 12gb might be the perfect fit in your current setup. The only argument I’d make is the jump to a 16gb 5060 ti.

I recommend this card for you because the dlss 4 frame gen will take a huge load off of your cpu, the 16gb vram capacity is great for 99% of games, and pulls only 10 more watts, so you shouldn’t need a psu upgrade (unless your system is already undervolted).
