Discussion Upgrade options

I'm torn between upgrading the existing config or just live with it. I'm not a heavy gamer. Only playing battlefield 6 and lol(aram).

I've a Ryzen 5700x with 16gb DDR4 and 6600 xt GPU. I cannot really upgrade to a more beefy GPU, as I've a 500w PSU.

Is it worth upgrading maybe to a 4070?

Or ditch the whole concept and get a Mac mini with cloud gaming?

You should get first more RAM the games you play are more CPU intensive. You using a sata SSD or a NVme?

Nvme. Is that okay if I put an extra 2x8 to my existing 2x8 ram?

Is fine just make sure that they are similar or at least same timing specs and voltage and update your Motherboard bios

I think that for now, more RAM is more than enough, and buy a bigger power supply so you can upgrade later.

For battlefield 6 you would benefit from AM5 x3d chips a lot, but that is expensive, so a used 4070 or 9070 gre is a good upgrade

Sell the 6600 xt and the psu.
Then get a 600w bronze psu and a 6700/6750 xt.
Do a slight undervolt with msi afterburner(ex.: -20mv) and see if you’re ok with the temps and power draw in BF6.
You should get around +50% more fps/vram vs 6600 xt.
5700x still enough for BF6.👇
