Thinking about upgrading (lemm.ee)

Hey guys, my PC is getting kind of "old" and i'm thinking about upgrading it, considering the performance is starting to feel subpar.

I feel like the CPU is causing most of the problems but i'm not quite sure, and would like some advice as to what needs upgrading most. Here are the specs :

  • CPU : Ryzen 3 1300X
  • Motherboard : MSI B350 Gaming Plus
  • RAM : 16GB of DDR4 2133MHz RAM (2*8)
  • GPU : Geforce GTX 1060 6GB

Thanks for your insights !

If you are upgrading part of this PC, make sure you have SSD.

Ahah yeah i didn't mention storage but i got a great deal earlier in the year and i have a pretty good 4TB SSD (many people have told me it's overkill, i'm still convinced it's not)
