I’m not great at understanding a lot of the technical aspects of the different pc parts, and especially figuring out where any potential bottle necks are. I’m thinking that the gpu is my biggest issue right now, but I’d hate to spend the money and not get a huge improvement in performance.

p.s. I’m leaning towards the RX 6600 for a budget friendly upgrade, but I’d be open to other similarly priced suggestions.

Update: thanks for all of the advice y’all. I ended up spending a bit more for a 6650xt.

Besides a better gpu (look out for PCI-e gen difference) I highly recommend a higher refresh rate monitor, e.g. 144 Hz instead of 60 Hz. If you use your pc for gaming, this will make a huge difference in experience.

Also, unless you care about a silent pc or ‘cool running’ one, I’d wait and see whether you really need to upgrade your PSU when upgrading your GPU, but don’t let it exhaust itself

I’ve been gaming on sub 60fps for so long I don’t mind only running games at 60. The monitors were a gift from a friend and I don’t have any intent to replace them soon.
