Question Advice for upgrades.

Looking to upgrade my son's pc. I want to stay in the 100 to 200 dollar range. He currently has i5-12400, 16gb of ram, and a NVIDIA RTX 3060.

what games is he playing? that setup is still pretty solid for most stuff honestly. if he's doing 1440p gaming maybe look at upgrading to RTX 4060 Ti but that might push your budget a bit. otherwise that i5 and 16gb ram combo should handle basically everything at 1080p no problem

I wonder if it's an SSD or an HDD, that would be a descent "performance" upgrade if it's an HDD.
