You play mainly cpu intensive games, so if you CAN get this: https://www.cclonline.com/100-100000063wof-amd-ryzen-7-5800x-3-8ghz-octa-core-am4-cpu-331766/ - if thats out of your budget get something like this: https://www.cclonline.com/100-100000065box-amd-ryzen-5-5600x-3-7ghz-hexa-core-am4-cpu-331765/

For GPU - if you CAN (although its quite expensive, gpu prices are rough rn) get something like this https://www.scan.co.uk/products/xfx...6-graphics-card-rdna-4-2048-streams-3320mhz-b For squad VRAM is relatively important, however you could get away with 8gb at 1080p
If thats out of your budget get something like this: https://www.scan.co.uk/products/zot...dr6-ray-tracing-graphics-card-dlss-4-2560-cor people might say "wahh its only got 8gb of vram" but realistically, the pc market is shit rn... and its a "decent" price


Edit: right now id focus mainly on your GPU, whilst your CPU is out-dated and weak, your GPU is gonna REALLY start showing its age soon - also as other people have said, check out your PSU to check the wattage of it.

I would agree with that if Ryzen 5 5600x wasnt sold at the same price as 5 5500x3d. Ryzen 5 5500x3d beats Ryzen 5 5600x in gaming and there aint no doubt about it. I just switched 5 5600x for 5800x3d, but thats expensive. The budget way to do that would be the 5500x3d. Buying a ryzen with no 3d cache for gaming is not the best idea, and I have made that mistake a few years back buying my 5600x

the 5500x3d was my original thought, i just couldnt easily find it on UK sites (which is where i think ash is from) and whilst i cant speak for EVERYONE, i personally prefer buying from sites i know and trust (i know aliexpress is an option but it can be a bit dodgy at times)

Yep, the availability of the 5500x3d is limited to China I think, might be wrong, but im pretty sure that @Hodgparjor got his from Aliexpress.
