Hi, i built this PC with some online help, since i don't understand much about it. I'm looking to spend about 200-320 euros(320USD) on it for an upgrade.Since i have been having some low fps problems.
Mostly for gaming, 1920x1080 .
Games like Apex legends, cod, battlefield. Doesn't need to play on max settings, only low/medium. Just need to get max fps i can, for performance.

I play games like apex legends, battlefield and call of duty right now.

But that's what i want to hear.Getting my Pc to old glory days ;)

As for last question, how often do gpu's get released?As in, i'm just wondering if i could get the cpu+mobo+psu and ram right now, and get the gpu later, since it seems theres all constant new releases...and cpu seems to last for longer periods of time on a system compared to gpu's..
GPUs get yearly releases for the new models. CPUs are basically the same, but for gaming the GPU is more important. Rumor is the RX 5600 series will be released next month and will fill in the performance gap between the 5500 & 5700 series.

hey guys, as i was ordering the 1660 super, i come across a deal.
The super 1660 is 275 euros.

And i found a "Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX Vega 64 8GB HDMI / DUAL DP "
for 300 euros, so about 100 euros discount.

Is this a nice deal? How good is this gpu?

Thanks again

It terms of performance the Vega 64 is more along the lines of the RTX 2060, so usually 10-20% faster than the GTX 1660 Super. https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2512?vs=2542 The biggest thing that goes against the Vega 64 is power consumption. However, for 300 Euros you will be hard pressed to find a faster GPU.
