Question Upgrade recommendations for my PC ?

[annatar1]

With Christmas on the way I thought it would be time to upgrade some parts of my PC and needed some advice, probably just gonna upgrade the CPU and GPU. I've got a budget of $600-$700 AUD.

Current Specs
Mobo: B450M-A PRO
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3100 3.6Ghz
GPU: RTX 2060 Super 8gb
RAM: 16GB (8GB x 2)
Monitor: 1920 x 1080p

Thanks!!

Where are you?

Where will you likely buy from? Amazon? New Egg?

What are the 2 or 3 primary purposes of the PC?

What specifically makes you unhappy with the current PC?

Details always helps.

Oops, here u go
- Australia
- Just wherever is cheapest, I usually just use PCPartPicker to figure that out
- Mostly just gaming
- Multiple reasons, GPU is getting old (5+ years) , there have been problems with the stability of the PC with all signs pointing to the GPU (it's still been usable, just a bit of an inconvenience when it crashes once or twice a day). Also want to be able to play modern games at higher graphics settings.

Let me know if u need any more details.

Need to know make/model of your power supply, along with its age.

PSU died last week, it was a 5 year old TX550M. Most likely going to go with a Corsair RM750e (2023) as a replacement.

Your PSU was most likely your cause for instability. I would verify that first. Ideally, you need CPU, ram, and a GPU, but that would place you outside of your budget, unless you can score some good deals on the used market, on ram and CPU.
