my brother runs a 3600 in his PC with a similar card, and he gets phenomenal performance for what he spent on it. plus i explained in another thread that the price increase from the newer one isn't really worth it to us and that we can always upgrade, since it's AM4.
from my research, the 6700xt a 50€ price increase for minimal performance increase in some specific cases. since she's likely going to play raytracing enabled games in the future, i'm just gonna stick with the 3060ti.
At this point in time it doesn't make any sense to upgrade inside of AM4. Either get the better CPU now, or jump to AM5 or something newer.
Unless you can find a used 5800x3d for sub $100 in a year or so I wouldn't bother. You're going to end up spending more money to baby step than if you'd just bought something better from the get go.
i will keep that in mind. although i imagine am5 equipment requiring ddr5 and overall being more expensive.
DDR5 prices have tanked recently. AM5 prices will hopefully drop soon, but I think the days of a really good $100 motherboard are over.
