[SOLVED] Whats Should I upgrade

[Leo2k35]

Hey Everyone,

Here is my current Pc Spec:-

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 2300X Quad-Core - GPU: Nvidia GTX 1650 - SSD: Samsung 840 Evo 250Gb - HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB (2016) - RAM: Corsair CM4X8GD3000C16K4D 2x8GB - MBD: MSI A320M PRO-E (MS-7A36)

I am thinking of upgrading the GPU to either GTX1660x or RTX 2060 but I would be interested in what everyone else thinks just in case I have missed something.

I have around £400-500 to play with.

What is the make/model of the power supply? That matters most here. With your budget, you could easily do at least a Ryzen 3 3300x, and an RTX 2060, possibly even a 3600. Just depends on whether the PSU needs replaced as well, or not. Your board will probably need a bios update. 3300x, and a 2060s is another possibility, though it would push your budget limit, a bit.

Would changing the CPU, make that much of a differnce?
