I'm not great at understanding a lot of the technical aspects of the different pc parts, and especially figuring out where any potential bottle necks are. I'm thinking that the gpu is my biggest issue right now, but I'd hate to spend the money and not get a huge improvement in performance.
p.s. I'm leaning towards the RX 6600 for a budget friendly upgrade, but I'd be open to other similarly priced suggestions.
Update: thanks for all of the advice y'all. I ended up spending a bit more for a 6650xt.
Having 2 1440's, yes, you badly need to upgrade video card. Something like a 6800 XT, 4070 may work or might not be strong enough but 4080 is a lot of money, or 3080 Ti.
After you buy a GPU, save up for new board and processor, your 6 cores won't always keep up with graphics card
All of those gpus are way over my desired budget.
What games do you want to play and how sensitive to low fps are you? I disagree strongly with the top level comment. The fact that you have two displays doesn't matter and you are limited to 60Hz anyway.
I have a 1070 for two 1440p and one 1080p monitor. But since I don't play any demanding games I'll wait out the Nvidia 5000 series before buying anything new.
No. That is not needed and also ridiculously over budget for most people.
I have a 1070 and am very happy with my 1440 1440 1080 monitor configuration. Keep in mind that op only has 60Hz!
