RAM 16GB
The RTX 2060s is currently on 300$, so around that price.

You could do a lot better for that price, just saying, especially if you're willing to try AMD.

I know about AMD RX 5700, but not available in my country, i can also get 1080 TI for the same price but it's from a second hand buyers so i wouldn't risk it, if you know other GPU i would be happy to look them up.

What brand and model PSU?

2060S is not much of an upgrade. Better get your hands on a RX6600/6650.

PSU is Raidmax Thunder V2 635W. I know it isn't much of an upgrade but with 2060s i will be able to play Darktide on 60fps even on high while currently i have to play on low where everything looks like mush and i still drop 40fps on bigger hordes.

I looked up RX 6600 and 6650, 6600 vs 2060s depends on game in general, so they are even while 6650 is better than 2060s, similar price, but i have never strayed from nvidia graphic cards and i don't intend to play games on ultra high settings and don't intend to play anything recent besides darktide and helldivers 2, so for me the 2060s is adequate enough.

But i will definitely research the 6650 a little bit more and consider it, so thank you for the recommendation

2060S is not much of an upgrade. Better get your hands on a RX6600/6650.

The Ryzen 5 5600X is still a good CPU for gaming, it can easily handle any of the mid-high GPUs. I put the 2060 in the lower-mid.

Was thinking about rtx 2080 but not available in my country at a reasonable price, currently cheapest is 916 $ which is the case with other mid-high GPUs as well
