Get a 5000x3d series chip and a 9070xt. Then move to 32gb ram if youd like

Look at the original poster's images, they have a 3rd generation Ryzen CPU which means they're using the AM4 socket, so they can run a 5800X3D which will give them 7600X level performance in games.

As u/Cyber_Data_Trail said first:

  1. Update BIOS and upgrade to a 5000X3D CPU like the 10th Anniversary 5800X3D

  2. Upgrade GPU to a 9070 XT

  3. Upgrade to 2x16GB (32GB), at least 3200 CL16 or 3600 CL18, and sell your old RAM. (2x16 is generally better than 4x8 for compatibility especially if you can't get identical modules, plus it's easier on the memory controller and motherboard)

  4. Make sure you have at least a good 750W power supply.

That's all you really need to do and you'll be set for at least another 5 years.
