Consider upgrading your PC with a faster processor, more RAM, and an SSD for better performance.

For the RTX 3060 Ti, a suitable CPU and motherboard will depend on your budget and needs. A mid-range CPU like an Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 should work well. Pair it with a decent motherboard that supports PCIe 4.0 for better performance. Your current setup is solid—your PSU, RAM, and monitor are all good for this configuration.
You might consider upgrading the cooling system if you plan to run more demanding games later. The 600W 80+ PSU you have is adequate but could benefit from a higher wattage model if you increase load. For other parts, focus on improving airflow and ensuring your GPU has enough power delivery. If you need more stability, a better RAM module or a solid-state drive would help. Keep the gaming experience smooth with PUBG, Dota 2, and Chrome—just monitor performance as you add software.
5600X seems like a good pick for 240fps in Dota 2. A previous generation model runs at 3600, but I prefer the newer option. For the motherboard, someone lower up might have some suggestions.
