Hello, your setup has evolved significantly over the past few months. You're currently running a 2060 with an 800W power supply, and while the system feels stable, the GPU usage remains low. To boost performance, consider upgrading to a CPU that can better utilize your GPU's capabilities—something like an Intel i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 series would provide more parallel processing power. As for RAM, pairing it with at least 16GB should help improve multitasking and overall stability.

Power rating isn't a sign of excellence. Consider your budget. You might want to hold off until Zen 3 arrives.

I noticed the price was listed as 800 but it should be 700. It's the B700h model, around 80 plus bronze quality. Not a huge amount, looking for good value options.

You play at high resolutions, but the limitation comes from your 2060 setup even with a slower Intel at 4GHz. For smoother performance, consider checking a list of top gaming CPUs.

I need to upgrade my monitor (still using an affordable Acer V226HQL). I believe I should go for 1080 or even 1440 resolution, not 4K.
