Yeah, if you want to get something that might help you be a much more satisfactory 1080p gamer, the way is through used (eBay and FaceBook Marketplace). Ultimately, I'd make these upgrades, then just save up to get a whole new machine. It won't be worth it to upgrade this in 2-3 years. Ryzen 3600X https://www.ebay.com/itm/406538143982 $65 2x8GB DDR4 sticks (try for 3000 or 3200) https://www.ebay.com/itm/397446711362 $55 1TB SSD (NVME highly preferred, and you want to buy this NEW) https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Rnqrxr/corsair-mp600-elite-1-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-cssd-f1000gbmp600enh $105 You've got 2 real choices for a GPU: 9060XT 8GB (new), which gives you excellent 1080p performance on all the games, and some reasonable 1440p play if you want to use FSR to upscale (if any when you buy a 1440p monitor) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F8PR76W4?linkCode=osi&th=1&tag=bvg06-20 $290 Otherwise, go for max 1080p performance in a used card: RTX 3070 https://www.ebay.com/itm/358069020530 $210 Or RTX 2070 Super https://www.ebay.com/itm/168044188986 $175 or RX 6600XT https://www.ebay.com/itm/267442534065 $175 Reuse your existing case or buy a decent one for a little bit (that you can reuse for your next system): Montech XR https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fc88TW/montech-xr-atx-mid-tower-case-xr-b $70 I'd rather you not have to spend more to upgrade the CPU, as it's about another $75 bucks for a Ryzen 5600 and I don't think that's worth it. Figure the above is the max you'll do with this system.
