I upgraded my setup with a Gigabyte A320M board, Ryzen 3200G processor, and an 1650Super GPU. I bought a MSI MEG X570 Unify motherboard, a Corsair RM750 PSU, and a white Lian Li LanCool 2 Mesh RGB case. My existing 16GB Crucial memory was sufficient, but the 3200G and 1650Super needed replacement. I considered moving to a 5800X and 6700XT, but it’s unclear if there’s a better option nearby given my current components.

These would certainly be nice improvements, though the price of the 6700XT isn’t clear. If you need ray tracing, check if Nvidia offers any similar RTX 3070 cards. A 6700 XT works well alongside a 5800 XT, and someone recently bought one paired with a 5600, saying its performance meets his gaming expectations.

CPU and GPU pairing isn't ideal for gaming. I recommend 5600X and 6800 XT. The 5600X remains solid for years ahead, hardware tested it could last five years or more. I’d hold off on buying until next month since AM5 is coming soon. The 5800X and 6700 XT would likely drop your FPS compared to the 5600X and 6800 XT. GPU performance is more important in gaming.
