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.
All of those gpus are way over my desired budget.
