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!

Some other mentioned you should be able to run this game without issue, some tips when this happens:

  1. Check protondb for the game you're playing and see if there are any good optimization tips people have shared there. Looks to be some for this game.
  2. Install and use Game mode
  3. Make sure your CPU and Memory are at the most compatible frequencies FIRST (look this up), then optimize from there. You may be getting stutter on cache context switching under wine/proton
  4. Don't always use the most recent version of proton, use the most compatible for the game you're playing. You can change this for each game under steam settings. See #1 to find out what most people are saying about performance under different proton versions.

I honestly don't think you need an upgrade, just some optimization.
