Question What to upgrade next?

[Shuttlesworth34]

Just recently got a good deal on a 3080 FE, upgrading from my 1060 6gb. I mostly play competitive shooters like valorant. I was getting around 130-145 FPS in valorat before the 3080 FE and still sitting at the same with it. Wondering where i should upgrade to maximize FPS.

5700X3D or 5800X3D is about the only remaining upgrade before a complete platform upgrade.

With the faster card you can feel free to increase graphics settings if you desire to.

320W GPU, you are a bit marginal on the PSU, but unless you are having stability issues it can stick around a while. Doesn't sound like you are pushing the card up to its max though, so you probably haven't tested a full CPU/GPU load at the same time.

If you want more FPS, you need to upgrade the CPU. If you don't want to buy an entirely new machine, then agree with the 5700X3D or 5800X3D, preferring the 5700X3D since it's cheaper and is within spitting distance performance-wise

Would I need to upgrade the cooler if I go with the 5700X3D? Or stick with the stock cooler that came with my 5600

Coolers are cheap. Might as well.

Ram will probably get covered up if you put the fans where they are supposed to go on this one. You can always run it with one fan.
