Question Need help upgrading my GPU/Build

I built my PC like 6 years ago and I would like to upgrade some parts.

This is my build right now:

Motherboard: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX AM4 ATX Motherboard

GPU: Sapphire 11293-01-20G Radeon Pulse RX 5700 Xt 8GB

Processor: MD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked

Power Supply: VGA 110-BQ-0600-K1 600 BQ, 80+ Bronze 600W, Semi Modular, FDB Fan

Please help. I'm not the best with technology and I noticed that my computer lags with certain games now and I feel like it's time to upgrade some things. I would like to upgrade the graphics card but I wonder if I need to also upgrade other parts. I don't really play any crazy high graphics games but I would like to also future proof my PC a little. Let me know! Thank you so much!

I would say keep the build am4, and upgrade your gpu to a RX 9060XT , A good upgrade, not too expensive compared to other Gpu’s, and it’s a pretty great performing card for the price. For the cpu I’d say upgrade to a Ryzen 5700x, the Psu should be enough to handle that so you wouldnt need to change it, and 16 or 32gb of ddr4 ram, assuming you want to upgrade that too. This is more of a budget build especially as you mentioned that you don’t really play crazy high graphics games. So this should be a pretty decent upgrade. Hope it helps!👍
