I’m considering a PC upgrade.
Hi everyone!
I'm hoping to improve my computer, could you advise me on the best approach? I'm planning to purchase a new graphics card – what model would be suitable for a budget of $320-$330?
My current system specifications are:
Processor: Ryzen 7 1700
Graphics Card: RX 580 4GB
Memory: 16GB RAM at 2933 MHz
Power Supply Unit: EVGA 750BQ 750W (80+ Bronze certified)

Could you please specify the manufacturer and product name of your power supply unit?
And what is the resolution and refresh rate of your display screen?

Prioritize the 3600, and address the graphics card separately later.

What’s the reason for wanting an upgrade? Are you experiencing poor frame rates while gaming? Or are you intending to play games at a 4K resolution?

I require this because I’m experiencing frame rates below 75 in Escape From Tarkov; I'm seeing approximately 40-50 frames per second on certain maps.

Is it advisable? It’s currently struggling due to a limited GPU and the graphics card isn't powerful enough to match the processor.

If your graphics card reaches 100% during gameplay, have you checked the CPU's usage? Are any of the CPU cores or threads maxed out while gaming? It’s important to observe each individual core and thread, rather than just the overall CPU performance. After identifying the bottleneck, we can advise on necessary upgrades.

The graphics card reaches 100% utilization, while the central processing unit operates around 70%.
