crispymorgan 1,056 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Sooooooo I got a bonus and need to spend it before it gets spent. I bought myself a nice ultrawide monitor which has obviously taxed my current 1060 to within an inch of its life. Do I wait for the 4000 series? wait for the 3070 ti to drop a bit more in price? Is intel the best CPU? All these questions and more in todays episode of........ WHAT THE FUCK SHOULD I BUY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

phil bottle 9,761 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I'd wait to see what the 4 series entails or when it will be available to buy...but if you see a cheap 3 series, go for it. The big change these days is the power draw, as top end GPUs and CPUs are very, very hungry.

I can confirm this, especially with un-optimised games like 7DTD. However, the silver lining to this with the energy price crisis is that I can spend winter in the Man Cave with the PC on and the heating off!

GazzaGarratt 11,051 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 My 3080 is something I expect to now last for my better days tbh, so i'm not too concerned about the 4 series. All games seem to work extremely well on that so I would suggest you go for something like 3070 at least to save yourself upgrading for a long time. With that, my only other suggestion would be to have all the RAM. Cos why not? 😄 I think again its something you never have to think about for, hopefully, forever again if you get something nearer 64GB. The other PC gurus will have better advice on everything than me though, thats for sure. @Greboth @Tadnothad @Diddums @RenFengge @TurboR56Mini @Tar-Eruntalion @Misneach_ @tronic44 IRaMPaGe, phil bottle and Plumbers Crack 3 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/9630-crispys-glorious-gaming-build-v2/#findComment-147473 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diddums 4,346 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 No. Until you're seeing your RAM usage max out, it's a waste of money. Save the money until you actually need to upgrade, then see where the market lies.

All I know is that 16GB was being pushed on mine (appreciate I also had a problem with my PC) and as I wanted to play stuff like Star Citizen, etc at least 32GB should be looked at least. Especially as RAM isn't the most expensive thing to buy out of all the components.

crispymorgan 1,056 Posted September 29, 2022 Author Share Posted September 29, 2022 GameMax F15M MESH AMD RYZEN 5 5600X - 3.7/4.6Ghz Turbo - 6 Core - 12 Threads HEATSINK/FAN For CPU Included ASUS Prime B550M-A B550 Chipset - USB3.2 - DUAL M.2 - GEN4 PCIe 16GB DDR4 3000Mhz - CORSAIR - Vengeance LPX 1TB Samsung Nvme nVIDIA | GeForce RTX 3070 8GB - HDMI-DP - VR Ready 750W PSU - Corsair Gold - 90% Efficiency (High Gaming) It's pretty sweet, had a quick go on Day Z. Obviously with the ultra wide monitor its got more pixels to chuck about, but it handles it nicely. Alex has inherited my old rig, but I'd like to bump the GPU up a bit, the 7600K is a nice enough CPU for what he plays so no drama there. phil bottle, Plumbers Crack and GazzaGarratt 3 20 hours ago, crispymorgan said: I shall also buy a monkeybike......
