Where should my next upgrade go?

[Redrooster]

I'm good on ram, I got two sticks of 8 gb 3200 mhz. I'm having a hard time between 1080p High refresh rate or 1440p ( I don't know which one I'm going to like more because I can't test either of them, that being said I primarily play single player games )

 

Im 20 and i just got my first job ( I've been focusing on college, but I took the fall off. I've been living with my parents so I can focus on school work, but having this job will definitely give me some spending money and where else should I spend my money on than my gaming computer)

 

I might pick up a 1440p 144 Hertz monitor first and then go from there. What do I need to upgrade first? The ryzen 2600 or the rtx 2060?

High refresh 1440p will be limited by the 2060.

i mean there is nothing wrong with a 2060 and a 2600. What kind of FPS do you want to achieve?

 

if you want 1440P opt for a 2070 or 5700XT.

 

i would go with 1440P especially if you are opting for a 27” or larger monitor size.

I'd upgrade the graphics card first, but do you have an ssd in that pc?

Why aren't you getting an Ultrawide monitor?  They're perfect for single player games.

I haven't given it much thought, tbh. My 16:9 monitor has been enough for me, too bad there isn't a place to test out different monitor types

I might go for a 1440p 144hz and get a 2080 super. I'll still have to cap my fps to have a stable experience in future games ( and some current graphics hungry games )

Why would you need to cap anything?

I don't know. I usually do that for my 1080p 60fps monitor w/ vsync. Then again, I hear gsync is p good

Your 2060 will push over 60 fps in 1440p. Also dependent on settings and game. You don’t need g sync anymore for nvidia cards 1xxx series and up; they both work with free sync or the ‘certified’ G sync compatible monitors l.
