  • Different graphical settings also move the bottleneck around. With a powerful GPU you can use higher quality modes and higher texture resolution because they don’t really affect the CPU.

    With your current system I’d absolutely do the GPU upgrade, and then later if you decide your CPU isn’t powerful enough you can just get a new system with no GPU and move it over. No need to do everything at once, and that Ryzen 3600 still has some life left in it. The GPU really doesn’t. 4GB VRAM means a lot of games will overflow into system RAM which has a big performance impact.

    Additionally, it looks like that board supports the Ryzen 5800X3D with a BIOS update so you might consider that instead of replacing everything. If you’re running out of system RAM and have RAM slots free, adding RAM is also an option.
