My PC now:

Ryzen 5 3600

MSI B550 Gaming Plus

Noctua NH-U12S

MSI Rx 6600 Mech 2x

Seasonic 650 watt gold

 

Considering i have $ 1500 budget, should i upgrade my old pc or just build a new one?

Upgrade the CPU now. The 5700X if you're looking budget, 5800x3d if you're all about multiplayer competitive gaming or a 5900X if you're using the PC for productivity.

Keep the 6600 for now, upgrade it in a few months when the 7700XT and 7800XT come out, or the Nvidia RTX 4060Ti.

I would do 5800X and 6900XT and a 850W PSU. If you can in your country. You get better fidelity. I'm running that and I'm not CPU bound.

I see, i think i will upgrade the CPU first while waiting for either 7700XT or 4060Ti

I would consider the 850W PSU in the long run as the PC component trends that newer component needs more power than the old ones
