This is the current specs that I am running:

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED Turbo ARGB

GPU: Colorful GTX 1050ti Tomahawk V2 4gb
Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M Aorus Pro

RAM: Gigabyte Aorus 2x8gb 3200mHz

Storage: 

  • 1TB Western Digital HDD
  • 240gb m.2 SATA from WD Green

PSU: Thermaltake TR2 S 700w

Case: Rakk Haliya mATX
Monitors: 

  • Gigabyte G24F 1920x1080 165Hz
  • HP 24F 1920x1080 75Hz

I want to upgrade my GPU and my storage so that it'll be significantly larger and faster. Should I upgrade my GPU now? If so, which GPU matches my system best at the given budget? I just want to be able to play Warzone, RDR2, and other GPU-intensive games at high settings. Thank you!

Budget (including currency): around $150-$350 (Php 8,000-Php 20,000)

Country: Philippines

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Valorant, Warzone, MW2 & MW3, GTA, RDR2, Ghost of Tsushima, 2K, and Madden.

...

 

A Radeon RX 6600XT, 6650XT, 6700 (non-XT), or 7600 would be the best option. Eventually an RTX 3060Ti or 4060. 

 

Also, you need more SSD storage. I would recommend a 1TB NVME m.2 for the OS, games, etc.
