Need Help Configuring My PC for the next upgrade

[GrandeBaby]

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm looking for what I should upgrade in my current PC. I mostly use it for Gaming, networking, internet browsing, streaming.

I don't have much of a budget and built this PC pre-Covid as a home workstation and Gaming replacement for console gaming (PS4 and Switch)

I'm wondering if I need to start with a better powersupply before I look at graphics card. 

I would like to get to 1440p with a decent FPS if possible. 

Also am I bottlenecking anything?

This is my first post, so I'm not sure yet how I'll see your responses.

But Thank you for taking some time to consider helping me.

 

Regards

Buy a ryzen 5500 or 5600 (prefer 5600 if price diff is <20$)

 

Then buy a used 6800 which are about 400$ on ebay, Heres one for 365$, id just ignore the broken fan if its still running <80c

+1. If youre willing to sell the parts before buying you could get 5800X3D and a 750W PSU like RM750e, and then sell the 3600X and 1060 for $60-80 and $100-150 respectively, to get yourself 6700 XT or used 6800XT money.
