>what do I upgrade so I can properly dive into complex animated scenes and shit
$500 dollar upgrade just for your gpu isn't going to be worth much with today's pricing scams. spend time maximizing your performance on low end hardware instead. you'll get even more bang for your buck when you do upgrade. For now you've got 8gb vram and its gddr6 vram which is more than enough for small indie projects. Get more actual RAM (if you don't have minimum 32 gb wtf are you doing complaining about performance) but more importantly is the speed. Get the fastest ram your mobo will support. Also you're probably bottlenecking your cpu and I am willing to bet you'd need a total system makeover with that 500w piss-u you've got
you can't claim your pic is "unrel" when it showcases how little you care about 3d art to begin with. more performance will not suddenly make you an artist
