Looking for a better PC!

[Suicuniculate]

Budget (including currency): 3000 USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: VR, Subnautica, Doom Eternal, and Red Dead Redemption 2

Other details I want to try and aim over 100 fps. My current specs are:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700F CPU @ 3.00GHz   3.00 GHz
RAM: 16 GB
Motherboard: Asustek TUF B365M-PLUS GAMING
GPU: GTX 1660 Ti

I bought my PC from IBuyPower and let me tell you, it is not great.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I would also like to find a new desk and 2 monitors.

A better gpu and done?

 

But we need more specs here as in:

 

Case

Cooling

And most importantly what exact model psu.

 

The top 2 are also important due to ibuypower liking to use almost completly closed cases

i believe my psu is fine but the case and cooling are needed, my cpu can't handle discord and chrome at the same time.

What psu is it? I can and will not recommend anything without knowing it.

Keep your current system but buy a good set of 32gb of ram to replace your 16. Use your budget to buy a 3070 or 3080 at the lowest price you can which might be closer to your 3000 budget than you might have hoped due to current stock problems and resellers. Watch LTT's latest videos for more on this and maybe join LTT's verified actual gammer program if it is still possible or on the next drop.

You have a pretty good 8 core cpu and 16gb of ram, basic multitasking should be a breeze. 90% chance that's some sort of software bug or driver issue.

psu is covered by some plastic cover that i have no idea how to take off, is there any other way to check?

It's just a shroud. Basically unscrew the psu and remove it is the way to see it.

UPDATE: I took apart my computer and saw a few unplugged cables. I plugged them in and the fan lights that didn't work before are now working, but sadly I wasn't able to find the psu model number

Ok well here’s something we can use to indicate the PSU quality -

—What color were the cables?
