Recommendations for Improving My Computer's Gaming Performance

[Joynic]

Hello Everyone,

 

I want some tips on how to upgrade my PC so that it can run games better. I'm having some lag and low frame rate problems right now when playing the more recent games. The specifications of my PC are:

 

• Intel Core i5-9600K CPU
• NVIDIA GTX 1660 GPU
• 16GB DDR4 RAM
• 1TB HDD plus 256GB SSD for storage
• Power supply: 600W

I enjoy playing video games such as Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, and Call of Duty: Warzone. These games do function, just not as smoothly as I would like. I'm not sure what would improve my performance more—inserting additional RAM or even updating my graphics card.

 

Could someone suggest the element that would have the most influence on gaming? Is it advisable to prioritise other areas, like increasing storage capacity or updating the CPU, over upgrading my GPU?

In addition, are there any reasonably priced upgrades in the €300–€500 area that you would recommend?

 

Thank you in advance.
