I've been swapping in a newer CPU, probably a Ryzen 7. Would it really make a difference for gaming?

Really, opt for an SSD. It’s a good idea.

Where is your SSD located? If you don’t have one, it’s a good idea to purchase one.

didn't you bring this up a few hours back but were curious about a GPU upgrade instead of a CPU? at the moment, I think it's not a good idea. your specs show 2600 but your title says 3600—that's an older CPU for a newer model. either way, the difference won't be significant. I'd consider upgrading the GPU first, as it's likely to be several years older.

It seems the focus was on whether upgrading your GPU was worthwhile. Perhaps a different approach would have been better.
