Hi

Having used the forum a few years ago now to build my first gaming pc, I am back looking for more advice. Currently I am either thinking of upgrading my AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core Processor, 3850 Mhz or my RX Vega GPU? I will upgrade both but don't want to spend all the money at once. Not sure what I can get for around £500 and if its worth it?

Thanks

Can you clarify what you do with the PC and if only gaming: which games and at what resolution/settings?
 
Yea only gaming really. 1080p,
I'd echo the above, a 5700X3D & 6700 XT would be a good combination.

There's a 6700 XT for £320 on pre-order.

You could look at the 7600 XT 16GB too, not the best card ever, but near £300 it is alright and the VRAM will help it last for the longer-term, even at 1080p.

If you were playing at a higher resolution, I'd have said 5600X/5600 and 7800 XT instead.
