msi h410m-a
1x 16gb 3200mhz (only running 2666mhz because 10th gen)

That cpu will work fine with that gpu but ideally you want 2x16GB of DDR4 3200 seeing how that RAM is meant to run in dual channel.

Hey there! Welcome to the community. Upgrading to the i5 10400F sounds like a good move to reduce bottlenecking and improve performance, especially in CPU-intensive games like Far Cry 6. Just make sure your motherboard supports the new CPU and you should see a noticeable improvement in your gaming experience. Good luck with the upgrade!

RAM first. You will notice an immediate improvement.

Welcome to the forum

If you could sell the 16GB RAM stick and buy 2 x 8GB, that would do fine for now. That should help with saving for CPU
