[SOLVED] PC upgrade

[Iosks]

Hey
I've been thinking about upgrading my PC.
My specs:

• Mobo: ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING II
• CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
• AIO: NZXT Kraken X63
• GPU: RTX 2060 Founders Edition
• RAM: HyperX 16GB KIT DDR4 3200 MHz CL16 RGB FURY
• PSU: Seasonic Focus Plus 550w Gold
• STORAGE: Samsung evo 970 500gb, 1TB HDD, 2.5 500gb
• CASE: NZXT H510 matte black

So I've been thinking about upgrading my CPU to a newer one (3600 or 5600x) but the thing is that I've just bought a new MOBO and I don't really know if it would be worth it to buy a new one. I am satisfied with the one I have and I don't know if it would be a substantial upgrade. The other thing that I wanted to upgrade was my GPU. I mainly use my PC for gaming (battlefield, cod and other new titles). Which one should I go for? The CPU or GPU upgrade (I don't really want to buy a GPU rn because of the prices and availability. I would wait till the prices drop.).

Thanks for the help

You probably should go GPU, though getting one is difficult now. The 5600xt trades blows with the 2060, so you can kinda use it as a guide, looking at the scaling review, below. A CPU upgrade could potentially help, if playing CPU heavy titles like World of Warcraft.

I dont really play games like that. I want to play titles like upcoming Battlefield titles and maybe some COD. I usually get 60% to 70% when playing BF1

If you are only getting 60-70% CPU usage, GPU is definitely the way to go.

Just dont go 3060, it's not a worthy upgrade from what you have, I would wait out for things to get stable.. and get a 3070 or even a 6700XT.

Yess. I would upgrade to a 3070 TI or just wait for the 4070(if its gonna be named like that). But first the prices have to drop 😀
