Hi!

Currently looking to upgrade my desktop.
Heres my actual build:
GPU: 980TI
CPU: Ryzen 2600
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB
PSU: Corsair 650w
Motherboard: MSI Motherboard B450 Gaming Plus Max

Looking for a upgrade without spending tons of money and still runing new games mid/high graphics.

Did a little bit of research:
Upgrading 980TI to 4060
Upgrading 2600 to 5600X
Upgrading from 16GB of RAM to 32GB (adding 2 more sticks of 8GB each).

Looking for recommendations.
Thanks

Corsair is the brand of the PSU while 650W is the advertised wattage of the unit, what is the model of the unit and it's age?

You forgot to mention your budget, your location and your preferred site for purchase.

Mentioning your case's make and model will also help us understand if you have any clearance issues with your GPU. Info asked of in this thread;
which is why we ask for people to stylize it like so.

Something like this would work, I included a CPU cooler because I don't know which one you have and the 5700x does not come with one.

the entry level 4060 does not have a huge advantage with RT. Try 6650XT or the 7600 GPU.

Get the 5700X3D if you can. Last upgrade before platform change.
Agreed, an RX 6650 XT is also a good choice, its about tied with the RTX 4060 in anything that doesn't use raytracing for about 30 euros less. The RX 7600 is only about 10 euros cheaper than the RTX 4060 in Portugal though, making it a bit of a toss up between the two.
