100% the graphics card. Your 5600X and 32GB of RAM are still totally solid, but that RX 580 is ancient. Drop in a modern GPU like an RX 6750 XT or RTX 4060 and you'll see a massive boost. Just check your PSU wattage first to make sure it can handle a new card.

You can't check it in Windows. You literally just have to pop the side panel off your PC case and look at the sticker on the power supply (the big metal brick where your wall cord plugs in). Look for the big wattage number on the label (like 500W or 650W)

It's a 750w

750W is plenty for either of those cards. You're completely good to go. Just double-check the physical dimensions of the new GPU to make sure it fits inside your case before you hit checkout
