I can run most new titles, but I’m stuck on medium or low settings. If I try to crank it up to high or ultra, the FPS drops like crazy and everything starts stuttering.
I get the point about the RAM, and yeah, maybe next year games will demand more, but it's not my main priority right now.

Resolution is 1080p, but the big thing is I want a new monitor with a higher refresh rate since my current one is stuck at 60Hz.
Power supply is a 550W Corsair VS550.

Since I'm a total noob, it's hard for me to figure out what's actually worth the money vs. what'll give me the best boost—not to mention what won't fry my setup. I need to know what's compatible with my motherboard and if I risk killing the board itself. This PC was bought back in 2019. I've heard an RX 6600 might be a solid move.

Thanks in advance.

Hey, it's me again. Haven't changed a single thing yet. https://www.userbenchmark.com/PCBuil...365254?tab=GPU
On the left is my current rig, and on the right are some upgrades I’m eyeing—mostly just a CPU and GPU swap. I’d probably toss in another stick of RAM and maybe a beefier HDD too, though I’m honestly questioning if I even need a new PSU since I'm sitting on a 500W unit right now. The headache is that the site says it won't play nice with my motherboard, so which one should I actually grab? Does it even make sense to build a whole new machine if my max budget is around $1,300?

Thanks guys!

I'm a total newbie at all this stuff—anybody out there willing to walk me through it? Help a guy out...

Should be visible now.

Hey, what should I upgrade in this rig of mine? Red Dead Redemption 2 runs like a dream, but Hell Let Loose is stuttering a bit whenever I move around—plus my GPU is pinned at 100% most of the time.
I’m a total newbie when it comes to this stuff, so help a guy out if you can.

Looking for someone who’s finally found their voice—someone who wasn't always this talkative but is ready to dive in now. I'm down for some deep virtual chats about that, or honestly, just whatever is on your mind. If you're feeling it, hit me up. Let's kill some boredom and maybe help each other out along the way.

Looking for someone to hang out with—a friend, whatever. If you're interested, hit me up. I’m not gonna sit here and write a whole bio about myself—if you want to know something, just ask.

Looking for someone to actually talk to. Honestly, I don't care how old you are or what your deal is—that's not what matters here. I’m just looking for some real internet friendship where we can sit back and talk like adults about life, our problems, or whatever random shit pops into our heads. Not really looking to meet up in person or anything—just keeping things digital. So, if you're down, hit me up.

Anyone down to DM? Not really picky about who it is.

Look, I'm just out here looking for someone to shoot the breeze with—you know, build some actual friendship where we can vent about our problems and trade advice when things get messy. So, if you're down for that, hit me up.

Look, I used Google to figure out how to get hammered faster, but that’s not what I’m here for—I want some actual insight from you guys.
So here’s the deal: I’ve always had a pretty low tolerance for beer (not a huge issue), and I used to be able to knock back just about anything, though I hit my limit way sooner than the average guy. But lately? It’s been weird. A few times now, after having something hard—whether it’s straight shots or just a cocktail—my body basically just rejects it. One single drink and I feel like I’m gonna pass out—just this sudden wave of heat hits me and gravity starts winning. And let’s be clear, this happens even if that heavy stuff is the very first thing I touch when I go out. Doesn't matter if I've eaten a massive burger or if I'm drinking on an empty stomach.😠
