Need help upgrading my PC (lemmy.world)

Hello everyone!

I'm posting this because I need help upgrading my PC components. However, I don't know where to start.

Here are my current specs:

Operating system : Nobara Linux

Processor : AMD Ryzen 5 5600, 6x 3500 MHz

CPU cooler : Deepcool Gammaxx C40

Graphic card : ASUS Radeon RX 6800, ASUS TUF-RX6800-O16G-GAMING, 16 GB GDDR6

Motherboard : ASUS TUF B450-PLUS GAMING II

RAM : 32 GB DDR4-RAM, Dual Channel (4x 8 GB), 3200 MHz

Storage :I have several SSDs so that's fine

Case : Deepcool CL500, black.

Power supply : 750 Watt MSI MPG A750 GF, 90% efficiency (80 Plus Gold certified)

I would like to point out that I play on a 2k 144hz 27" monitor and I want to stick with full AMD because it's more convenient for me on Linux.

Even though I don't think there's a bottleneck, I'm looking to improve my setup primarily because I play The Finals in 2k, and with the graphics on low, I often drop below 80 fps at times (I would like to stay at 120fps).

Thank you for reading!

Notebookcheck benchmarked the RX 6800 at 350 FPS in 1080p low and 107 FPS in 1440p epic (https://www.notebookcheck.net/The-Finals-review-Laptop-and-desktop-benchmarks.785549.0.html). Based on that, I'd expect better performance at 1440p low. This might be an issue with your hardware / configuration or with the driver/Linux. Are you getting the expected performance in other games?

I also second checking GPU utilization and temps with Mangohud.
