I've recently got a new job with gives me some disposable income and I think I wanna upgrade my PC. Below is my current build, and if anyone can give me any advice on what I should change/add/takeway, that would be great. My budget is around £500 but I'm not desperate to spend it all. Thanks in advance!

Get a new cpu/motherboard? I'm thinking 8th gen because you already have 2400 mhz ram which would be a bit too slow for ryzen.

Try using the PSU Tier List!

there's not really much to upgrade tbh, maybe an 8700/k if you really want.imo i'd just save it for something else in the future.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Heatsink: Gelid Phantom Black GPU: Palit RTX 3060 Ti Dual RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz mobo: Asus X570-P case: Fractal Design Define C PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 650W
