Purchasing Advice - Upgrades What should I upgrade first?
Hello all! I’ve been recently getting back into pc gaming and I am over the moon. My wonderful boyfriend has a pc that his brother built which I can imagine was pretty good at the time, now it kinda falls behind. So I was looking for some advice on what I should upgrade next? My number one is a gpu for sure but I’m just not sure if it’d be smarter to just upgrade the cpu AND gpu. Any advice welcome!
SPECS:
Board: z590 pro WiFi
CPU: I5-10400
GPU: Radeon RX 580 8gb
RAM: 2x8gb Corsair vengeance ddr4 - 2x4gb crucial ballistix sport ddr4
I don’t live near a micro center (cries in west Texan) nor am I concerned with price, I’m honestly just trying to see what I should be investing in as far as time and money lol. Cheers!

RX6600 should be a cost effective GPU that will breath a little more life into it.

Yeah a second hand Rx 6600 or 7600 is definitely the most cost effective upgrade

For sure the GPU as u know. That CPU can handle a much beefier GPU. Not crazy beefy but wayyyy better than what you have rn. Also you have 4 sticks of different ram in? I believe that could cause performance issues, but I might be wrong. I ain't as nerdy as others here
