Question If I could upgrade 1 thing on my PC, what should it be?

[matthewperacio]

As everyone knows black friday and christmas deals are right around the corner, I have some money ( not a HUGE amount ) and am willing to spend it on some upcoming deals and would like to know what would be the best things.
Specs:
GPU: Geforce 1050ti
Motherboard: MSI z370m gaming pro ac
CPU: I3 8350k
SSD: Kingston 240GB
HDD: WB 1TB
PSU: Seasonic Focus plus gold 650w
Ram: Vengeance 2x8 3600Mhz

I think the best options would be to upgrade my GPU ( thinking about buying the amd 6600 ), and my CPU ( no clue what to upgrade to ). Any suggestions?

"Some money".

??

40, 200, or 600 dollars?

In the USA?

What's the biggest disappointment with your current setup right now?

It won't do what as well as you'd like?

More info?

1. I'd say maybe 200-400$ and yes in the USA
2. I'd say like games that are more heavy on the PC are having low fps, for example for Warzone 2 on the lowest of settings I get 20-50 fps max nothing higher and that really sucks because its honestly unplayable and I cant play games that I would enjoy.

i would upgrade your gpu to something like a RX 6600 or a RTX 3060 and if youre ok with used hardware i would look around on ebay for a 8600k or a 8700k.

For that price don’t bother with the i5 imo.

And this gpu

That should put you at 350ish and max out your motherboard and play pretty well at 1080p. Resell the 1050ti. Then start saving up for a new build in a year or two.

A rx6600 or a 3060 would make sense.
With your CPU maybe you bottleneck a bit, but not enough to notice too much. You always can clock some cores a bit higher if you have enough cooling. It is a K processor after all.
Also, if you have some money left maybe a 500gb m.2 drive goes handy if you find a good deal.
