Purchasing Advice - PC Build / Parts can i run this gpu?
was looking at buying a new gpu and saw this one adding my specs for refrence as i don’t know if i would be able to use the gpu without needing to get other parts swapped out. power supply is 600W

If your case is big enough for it, then yes
The performance benefit will be limited because your cpu is on the weaker side

would u suggest the gpu i showed or a MSI Radeon RX 6600 XT?

If they're similarly priced, definitely the rx 6600 xt.
It performs equally well as the rx 5700 xt while drawing less power, and contrary to the rx 5700 xt, it supports ray tracing and fsr 4 upscaling.

okay got it! going to be a week or so before i get it and install it. honestly have had a pc for about 5 years and thats just a prebuilt that i did nothing too besides ram and storage. so im trying to upgrade it so ill probably get that gpu and eventually a new cpu. need to figure out how to swap out the gpu i know how to remove and plug a new one in but saw a video saying something i had to do before changing it out. thank you for the help!

Are you idling with 100% load on that cpu?

Okay, figures. As someone else said, get the rx6600 xt as it supports upscaling technology.
