Hi All,
Currently thinking about doing an upgrade, after chatting with people around Microsoft Flight Sim. and thinking it might be time. It's been 5 years, and the below spec has served me well.
Current spec.
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 3.4GHz
Mobo: Asus B450M Pro4
RAM: Corsair Ven. LPX 32GB DDR4-3000
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo 500GB
GPU: EVGA 1070TI SC
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G+
Case: Corsair 240
Monitor: Dell S2716DG 27"
Gaming wise: BG3, Tarkov, Cyberpunk, VR games, NMS, Darktide
Future: STALKER 2, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Starfield (maybe)
I am thinking upgrade wise
CPU: 5800-3DX (bios updated needed)
Storage: 2TB M2 (other M2 will go on the slower m2 slot.)
GPU:?
I'm a bit lost with GPUs, as they just seem insanely priced and not actually sure what a good option might be. Would the 40 series actually be a good investiment with the above spec and upgrade, or am I throwing money at the wrong thing. 3080 serve me better? Any series to absolutely avoid?
