This is very imbalanced for gaming. While a 5900X certainly won't hurt your performance, you're effectively just paying a massive premium for more consistent frametimes. A 2060 also isn't going to be great for a 2021 title, but at this rate just work with what you have I guess.

In games, the difference in performance with this list wouldn't be noticeable to the human eye compared to yours (besides the GPU obviously). A 2060 is the lowest I'd go for new titles, but again, just find what works.

5900x isn't really meant for gaming. It's unnecessary. I'd probably sell that and the GPU and try and get a better GPU. A 2060 is far from a powerful card.

I'd probably get a better cooler than that.

Welp since the budget doesnt allow for a new gpu i guess ill just keep the 5900x, upgrade the rams to 3600 and get 32gb ram + 2tb storage + 850w psu

 

Though cut costs on the mb, cooler, and case, now its 100£ cheaper aswell

 

I guess if you wanna keep it for the next 7 years or so and might wanna do some streaming then sure it may come in handy
