I’m currently running a Ryzen 5 3600XT with an RTX 2060 Super and considering an upgrade to a 5060 Ti with 16GB of RAM, alongside a Ryzen 7 5700. I have a 600W PSU, 32GB of DDR4 RAM, a 1TB NVMe SSD plus a 1TB HDD, and an X570-PLUS motherboard. Is this a good upgrade or should I consider something else?

If I were you, I’d actually consider picking up a Ryzen 7 5700X3D and a used RTX 3080 instead. You could find one around 300 pounds if your budget allows. My 600W PSU has handled it fine, but just make sure to check if you need a BIOS update for compatibility!
I swapped from an 8600K and a 1060 to a similar setup, and honestly, it felt like a massive upgrade! If your budget fits, it’s definitely worth it.
