Upgrade

Budget (including currency): 600-650 AUD

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Minecraft, COD, Phasmaphobia, Asseto Corsa, Iracing, F1 game franchise, NFS and blender

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): Want to play an 1080p and want to upgrade my current PC.
Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x
Cooler: Asus TUF Gaming LC240 ARGB
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B550-f Gaming

RAM: 32GB running at 3200 MHz at CL16
Storage: Samsung 980 Pro 1 Terabyte

GPU: Asus RTX 2060 Dual OC

Case: Deepcool matrexx 50 ARGB
Fans: 6 fans, going to unifans soon.

I want to upgrade with a 600-650 AUD budget, I want to buy everything for the upgrade used. Might be able to make that budget higher by selling some the old parts of the component I'm upgrading. I was thinking a different cpu like to go to a Ryzen 7 5800x3d or a 5900x. I was also thinking a GPU upgrade to a 3060 ti LHR or a 3070 LHR.

are you mainly being cpu limited or gpu limited? 1080p would suggest a cpu limit but that can be alleviated with a simple 4.6-4.8ghz allcore (1.3-1.4v vcore) overclock, ram oc will also help and most 16gbit ics should do atleast 4000 (check thaiphoon burner for ic) though even a relatively simple 3800 oc might take a half hour since you gotta tighten trfc trc trrd-l/s and tfaw which need to be stability tested (most of the time taken for ram oc is running stability tests)

 

If your rather old 2060 is holding you back (it problably is) then a gpu upgrade would help, id reccomend a used 6700xt or a 6800 if you can find one for cheap enough since 8gb vram is already quite limiting on some newer games

Yeah, until you’re looking at a way way way faster gpu, there is absolutely 0 reason the get rid of your 5600x already.

I edit the shit out of my posts.  Refresh before you respond.
