MODERATORS
Yeah… my last serious rebuild was in mid/late 2020, and I definitely overdid it with a 5950x. But the good news is that I feel relatively future proofed. And I found a deal (read: found being sold at MSRP) a 9070XT several months ago that I replaced my 3080FE with (mainly because I’m shifting to Linux gaming and AMD makes that easier with the drivers). I’m gonna ride this out for a few more years. And I’m gonna pray that none of my RAM decides to shit the bed 😬
I've got a 2060 and i5 10400. I'm boned.
Sorry friend, I will pray for you to find some cash in the couch cushions 🙏
