Question Need help picking components for a upgrade

[lazacat]

Hello, I am currently running a sort of mid-end pc setup and I am not satisfied with it's performance on most games. I was wondering which components could I possibly replace to make my PC better?
Here's a benchmark test I ran with my rig: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/67957202
If you need to know anything else, just say so in the comments and I will provide, thank you.

What is your budget for upgrading the system? What is the brand, model, and wattage of your PSU?

PSU is LC500H-12 V2.2 and I haven't established a budget just yet, but I can tell you that I don't need anything extremely good since all I want is to run games at decent graphics without anything special.

You will want a different PSU. That is a bad PSU and it isn't even a 500W PSU as the 12V rails combine to only 360W.

Otherwise things to upgrade easily would be CPU to a 5600X, add a 1 or 2TB NVMe drive, get a new GPU like a 4060, 7600XT, or 6750XT. However, be sure to upgrade your PSU as well.

Yeah, the PSU is old so that's understandable. Thanks for the help!

Your system is running pretty well. There isn't anything you need, except the PSU is low quality- high risk.

Toshiba P300 is a good HDD. A 1Tb NVMe would be a good idea. A 256Gb SSD is enough for Windows and a few games though. So even the NVMe isn't neccessary.

The PSU + maybe 4060 or 6650XT would get you better quality. Maybe higher frames as well.

None of those PSUs listed are any good. From the site you used the only ones that I could feel safe recommending would be the Be Quiet System Power 12 M and Dark Power 13 M, Seasonic Vertex, Corsair RMx and RMe, Thermaltake Toughpower GF A3, and the Fractal Design Ion+ 2.

As others have stated, PSU first. CPU and GPU next. You could do a larger SSD and more ram too, but at that point you are basically getting a brand new rig minus a board and case. PCPP list for some reference.

Those are top tier PSUs. His budget wont go that far. I'm trying to suggest something that isn't going to explode or fry his PC.

My recommendations were not great, but they were good. Safe and within reason price-wise.
It's easy to pick the best stuff when you have no limit to your budget, but it's no good when the person that's supposed to use it cannot buy it.

Prices in Serbia are not exactly friendly. They're as high as most European countries.

Looking more into that Thermaltake that might be the same as the GF1 [AH3FCG] listed on the tiers list as a good PSU. The System Power 10 reviews say it is a step backwards and downgrade from the 9 and the 9 was rated as a low priority PSU in low end on the tiers. The MWE White is listed in the avoid on the tiers. I know the tiers isn't the end all be all but it is at least a decent showing of what is OK.

Yeah, the Cooler Master is the cheapest of the lot and the worst. I would rather avoid it too, but if money is extremly tight it's still better than the current PSU which is both old and unreliable so basically a bomb.

Problem with low price PSUs is that it's very difficult to find something that is reliable. Reliability is most important, not so much the fine qualities of B+ PSUs.
It's hard to explain just how damned expensive those PSUs really are. Even the ones you and i can agree are better avoided are almost out of reach. That's why people buy terrible LCs, Intertechs, Chieftecs and Kolinks, or no name junk.

The SeaSonic GM12 isn't a refined PSU, but it will not blow up and take the rest of the PC with it. That's kind of what i was trying to aim at. You understand.

The PSU tier list is a very handy guide on what to avoid, for sure.

Hey guys, sorry for not responding i've spent these past few weeks researching about the parts that would work with my pc.
I've found a RX 6600 Power Color Fighter as the gpu, CPU is most likely gonna be a AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and I am still deciding on which power supply I should get, so some budget choices are welcome since the ones I saw on this thread were slightly expensive. Thanks!
