I will aim for the low end/ mid tier stuff that hopefully is not above 300 usd.
Which is why I am waiting for new gen before deciding.

yeah this build of mine is like when everything is old then everything goes so my last upgrade is from a 5600 to like a 5700x3d or I could theoretically replace the mobo, cpu and ram with micro center bundles
thatâs a pretty solid looking build I got the same CPU cooler and itâs great, I oughta clean it soon lol

whoa holy shit, the golden days of both Intel and Nvidia
I was too poor then so I kept waiting and my first cpu was Ryzen 5 2400g then very recently I bought this 5600 only for AMD to go âyeah weâre changing to AM5 and also the pins are differentâ
so now Iâm stuck on AM4 motherboards and if I wanna upgrade I gotta do it all

Haha yeah, thats the curse im dealing with as well. Need better CPU? need to swap MB and then ram outâŚmight as well get a whole new kit while im at it lol.

You boys have me thinking about my setup again, although I think (at least for my purposes) Iâm already maxed out unless we have some kind of generational leap in functionality or raw power-per-watt: Currently on a 3800X and RTX3080, which was an upgrade from my previous 6600K and 1080Ti. I mostly play older or indie titles that donât beg for gobs of power and my monitor is 1440p max, so Iâve been looking at release schedules but nothing seems worth the overhaul yet. The old rig (case and all) went to a buddyâs kid so he could play Minecraft and the like.

You shouldnt need an upgrade IMO.

Thatâs what Iâve been telling myself haha; I only ever occasionally get frame drops under REALLY busy parts of games. The processor is a little long in the tooth but still doing its job and for 1440p no card seems like it would be worth moving on yet.

See, now THAT is a good leap. I hope that itâs serving you well!

Wait at least 2 more CPU/GPU gens before considering an upgrade I say.
I hope that Intel will actually be improving enough to make Nvidia/AMD sweat and lower their damn prices of their GPUsâŚ

So good. Xd Good for gaming, and helps a lot with video editing.

Facts. I got into the 1080Ti because at the time it was the only Nvidia card on the market that actually maintained something of an accurate $/performance ratio as coin mining was just taking off. Then, the 3080 came from a friend that got lucky in one of Neweggâs card lotteries at the time, but he scrapped the build he got it for so he offered it for the same price he got it at and I said sure knowing that it would last me a good while. His kid is the one that got the old 6600K/1080Ti rig, too.

Yeah that 1000 series was pretty damn good overall. Cant say the same for the 4000 series.
Sadly when i bought my 1060, it was when I HAD to upgrade ASAP as my then 780 suddenly died one me and it was in the middle of the damn mining craze! I paid around 400 usd for the 1060âŚ

Man Iâm actually thinking about buying the microcenter bundle so I can move on to AM5 for like 350 bucks, I could probably some of the cost by selling stuff
The shitty part is itâs hard to sell all these old parts I got and since I donât have a car it sucks selling it in general.

Just be sure to weigh the worth of the components youâre buying with how long you expect to use them. Going up a tier in price can be worth it if something lasts you an extra 3-5 years with what you have under the hood, especially in eras like this where the generational gain is minimal-to-insignificant in most parameters.

I got a new 4080 super so I need to upgrade my 5600 as well but Iâm sure I can delay the cpu
my choices are 5700x3d or just going 7700x microcenter bundle with ram and mobo for like 350 bucks
Honestly not in a rush so I might not do it. I need to find a way to sell my 5700xt and 5600 first, Iâd sell the whole PC but the case is pretty banged up
