How to upgrade PC

[tolkiennerd69]

Hello! I recently built my first PC and won't be upgrading for a few months but I'm curious on how I should upgrade so I can keep an eye out for parts.

 

Upgrade Budget: Around $350 USD

 

Current Build:

 

Ryzen 5 3600x with stock cooler

GTX 1660 super 6gb

4x 8gb teamgroup teamforce 3200mhz ddr4

512 gb m.2 ssd (will be adding another 512 gb ssd but not included in the upgrade budget)

MSI b550m pro-vdh wifi mobo

MSI mag 550 watt psu

cheap zalman t3 m-atx case

two case fans

For your budget and system specs. Definitely a GPU upgrade

A 7600 XT would be a decent uplift in performance, could find one for 350 bucks on sale I think.

Your MSI MAG 550w is enough.

The 5060 and 9060 XT should be available by then, I'd take a look.

3060, 6650 XT, 7600 (XT), 4060, 5060

Will these GPUs get decent frames at 1440p? And not get bottlenecked by the 5 3600x?
