My system is a rtx 2060 i5 9400f with 32gb of ram, a 500gb ssd and 4tb hard drive. I don't feel like I need to upgrade but I wanted to play Ark, and it just can't get it out. Any suggestions?
The 25% increase going from a 2060 to 5700XT is minimal difference? Don't forget the 2070 Super is only 30% faster than the 2060. That means that both the 5700XT and 2070 Super will allow for increased setting while keeping the same or getting more FPS than with the current 2060. Note that doesn't mean that I would spend the money to go from a 2060 to 5700XT or 2070 Super as the gain isn't worth...Minimal difference between the 2060 and 5700xt, it'll free up some fps at the current settings, or increase some settings at the cost of that fps gain. Meaning you'd get med-high at same fps or higher fps at med-low settings. A 2070 Super would get you med-high at the increased fps.
But that's a $500+ investment for some game details.
What are your current specs? With the 10th Gen being released and having HT across the board, getting a 9th Gen doesn't make sense.I have been seriously thinking about basically building a new computer. I plan to either upgrade to the i5-9600k vs the i7-9700k. This upgrade will decide whether I upgrade to the rtx 2070 super or the rx 5700xt.

Also going from the 9400f to 9600k is a waste of money.I'm going to bonk you over the head and tell you that upgrading from a 2060 to 2070 Super is a waste of money. Not that I can stop you or anything. xD
It's relevant in that we have an idea of whether there are reasonable upgrade options available without replacing certain other components like the motherboard. The 10-series processors might seem like reasonable options, but they are not compatible with existing motherboards.My current specs aren't very important in this scenario as I'm am practically upgrading everything, but currently I have a i5-9400f, rtx 2060, and 32gb of ram. All in the Asus stric b450-f motherboard

I’d wait until 3000 series is out later this year. The upgrade your suggesting doesn’t seem worth it and to be honest even a 2070 Super/5700xt are a bit weak for 3440x1440. 3000 series should give a greater jump in performance for X budget.Thank you for the opinion. I feel that I rushed into making this build as I was excited. I also currently have a 3440x 1440p monitor, so my main game is modern warfare, and running it I gotta stay at about medium-low settings.
I've also been looking at the rx 5700xt since it seems to perform better while being less expensive.

Also the benchmarks that Tomshardware did for the 2070 Super and 5700XT 1440p Ultra or higher resolutions.Minimal difference between the 2060 and 5700xt, it'll free up some fps at the current settings, or increase some settings at the cost of that fps gain.
