Hi guy's , 

 

i'm thinking on upgrading my rig.

At this time i'm rinning the current rig.

Ryzen 2600x

B450 aorus Motherboard

Gainward 2060

32 GB of ram 

 

Now i'm not sure what to upgrade at this moment.

I'm thinking about 2 option.

 

Ryzen 5800x3D or a radeon 6700XT.

 

Wat do you guy's think.

What would improve my build the most .

Cpu or GPU .

What would be les of a bottleck?

 Without any more context, I'd say upgrade the GPU. But do you really need an upgrade? I wouldn't just upgrade for the sake of the upgrade.

 

If you are after high frame rates in esports titles at 1080p, a CPU upgrade would probably help you. If you want to play games at 4k with good settings, a GPU upgrade makes more sense.

2600X would hold the 6700xt a bit back at 1440P.

 

Id still get the GPU tho, you can always slot in a faster CPU later.

You will see the most performance gain from the GPU, and since older AMD CPU's are cheap now you should be able to upgrade that for a great price later.

runnig  a 1440P 140 hrz screen at this moment .

RTX 2060 so 1440P is what high. 

 

not sure is the Ryzen 2600x would hold back the 6700xt to mutch .

The questions is more if you really care about the upgrade you'd get from the CPU. You might get some more FPS, but only in games, that you can run at high FPS anyway.
If you get a new GPU, you'll be able to play a whole new class of games, just not at high FPS.

 

I'd personally wait for like a year with the CPU upgrade anyway and then find some cheap used ryzen 5000 series chip.

you won't be hitting 144fps with a 2600X.  If you're gaming at 60 you should still be fine but forget anything 80+.  We're upgrading my Nephew from a 1600AF (basically a 2600) to a 5600 this christmas.  He should see some very nice gains in his 1% and .1% lows

 With all the Trolls, Try Hards, Noobs and Weirdos around here you'd think i'd find SOMEWHERE to fit in!

B450 Aorus (Master, Elite, Ultra, whichever) has a relatively weak VRM and I wouldn't put a 5800X, 5800X3D, 5900X or 5950X on it.

A Ryzen 5 5600 or Ryzen 7 5700X would be the ideal upgrade.

 

The 2600X is limiting the 2060 in rare occasions. But it would bottleneck a stronger card by a lot.

 

As for the GPU, an Radeon RX 6700, 6700XT or a Geforece RTX 3070 would be OK.

But I would recommend waiting a few months with the GPU, just to have the RX 7700XT or 7600XT available. Or the RTX 4060.
