Budget (including currency): planning no budget yet (AUD)

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: GTA V, Rocket League, Rainbow Six Siege, Minecraft, CS:GO + maybe some more

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

Hi everyone, this is my first post on the forum

 

I have had my pc for near on 4 years now and i feel soon it is time for a few upgrades

 

recently i upgraded the ram to what is shown in the listing attached, however i feel soon something else will need to be changed down the line in order to make my gaming experience much better

 

I have been recommended to upgrade my GPU but im not sure what to upgrade to, let alone can i upgrade with the cost of them currently

 

any help on suggestions for upgrades would be appreciated!

 

Thanks everyone!

Due to gpu prices right now I would focus on upgrading a cpu, but with no budget listed I can't exactly give a clear recommendation. Look at the 5600X and the 10400(F)/11400(F) and 10600K and 11600K

In reality im hoping to spend anywhere from 300-500, maybe more. i dont have a great source of income but if i need to save to get the better hardware im willing to do so

Hold on to that GPU, you won't find a worthy upgrade right now (without shelling a ton of cash).

For the CPU, you can upgrade to 7700k.

Ryzen 5700g @ 4.4ghz all cores | Asrock B550M Steel Legend | 3060 | 2x 16gb Micron E 2666 @ 4200mhz cl16 | 500gb WD SN750 | 12 TB HDD | Deepcool Gammax 400 w/ 2 delta 4000rpm push pull | Antec Neo Eco Zen 500w

Decent budget, if you want to spend $300 go with an 11400, decent aftermarket cooler, and a new board, for $500 you could get a 5600x and a decent board and cooler

Ah, sorry about that. So then you'd have to spend more for the 5600X, but the 11400 or 11600K is a great option too.

What about a 10400f, those cost $120 in my country, and if it’s more expensive in yours, find a used one, as they have good bang for buck and being quite futureproof too.

10400f is a good option, however in my country the 11400 is only 30 USD more expensive so that is worth it

How do you find a 11400 for 30 dollars more? Mine has a $100 difference with 10th and 11th gen...

Interesting. I live in USA and the 10400F is 150$, while the 11400 is 183$

if anybody whos been on this post sees this, i have seen that apparently the 10400 and the 11400 are incompatable to my setup according to PCPartPicker

 

I also realised i put in the wrong motherboard on the parts, i have the asrock fata1ty b150 gaming k4 instead of the plain asrock b1150 gaming k4
