What is your current psu including age, and keep in mind everything including games runs smoother with 32GB of RAM.

Keep in mind the price of DDR4 is skyrocketing since it was announced last month that DDR4 modules will no longer be manufactured. Either get the exact set of RAM you currently have for a total of 32GB or better yet grab a set of either 2x16GB DDR4-3200 CL16 or a set of 2x16GB DDR4-3600 CL18. With so many people moving over to DDR5 you can find decent deals on Facebook Marketplace and Ebay for example. But you do want 32GB seeing how it's become the standard.

That psu will work although ideally you want a ATX 3.1 psu if going with a RTX 50XX card.

Another option to consider is upgrading your platform for now and replace your 3080 later on.

whats wrong with my platform? I think the only change i need to make for battlefield 6 is to upgrade GPU to have 50-60 more fps
