Upgrade Advice
Options
I was looking to update my wife's gaming rig to something more 4k friendly. She mainly plays a mix of AAA games and indie games ie Ffvii, XIV, the Yakuza series, some souls borne titles, Palworld, RE2, 4, Village, Biohazard.
She currently has a game only 1440p setup. She doesn't stream or do video editing. As far as features she just wants a stable 4k experience that's worth spending money on.
Current build:
AMD Ryzen 7 5700x
Asrock Challenger Pro 6750xt 12gb
Corsair Vengance 32gb DDR4-3600 CL18 RAM
NZXT Z53 Elite
Asus TUF GT301 Nezuko Edition
EVGA SuperNova 750GT
NZXT AER RGB case fans
I was looking upgrade the gpu and the case (the H6 flow) so far since the current case won't fit a beefier gpu, but does anyone have any advice or input for smart upgrades?

If you're looking for a 4k gaming experience then having at least a 7900xt or 7900xtx for the GPU. Also the PSU is needing to be upgraded as well, an 850watt is just enough but going to a 1000watt will be more than enough when you'll want to upgrade any other components in the PC.

I agree with Zuua. Kind of goes without saying but the 7900XTX will have a consistently better time handling 4k gaming over its XT counterpart. Especially considering the value you get from that card compared to other offerings, I think the 7900XTX would be solid
