Just buy a prebuilt
Smart consoomer Tier:
put together a Ryzen5 3600 / RX 580 mid-range custom pc
Genius tier:
Buy a used i5/i7-anything pc or 1st gen ryzen machine off of craigslist for no more than $200, then slap in additional ram, an ssd, and a RX580.
typing from my Ryzen5 1600, RX580, 16GB machine that I only paid $280 for in full after ram upgrade

>are you guys upgrading your rigs for next gen?
probably not. im not worried even slightly about being underpowered because consolefags push the same shit every year about how their consoles will blow PC out of the water and it always ends up not true.
i will be rocking my GTX 1060 6GB until it fucking dies
Ayden Harris
>1060 6GB
how is it holding up? i upgraded to 2060 right before they announced the super like a retard. but now i get to experience 1440p144hz and its great
Gavin White
Wait 6 months, buy Ryzen 4700X and RTX 3060. You are welcome.

Are those going to overpower the new consoles you think? Not that I really care about that but just in case I need to brute force some shitty ports next gen
Ryan James
Just go to pc part picker.com because you will never get a straight answer on Zig Forums or forums since building a machine is broad. What might work for some games won't work for other, then might work with emulation or might not, etc... Just try to keep parts same companies if possible, work on cable management, and ensure a good airflow.

It doesn't matter if new consoles are coming out, or a ram shortage is going on, or bitcoin's rising price causes mass gpu shortage. This phrase is always a fucking meme regardless of how close or far new shit is coming out

Yep... Big hipster glasses, some IPAs in the fridge, an ugly asian wife and a big bushy, patchy beard. Manbun optional

who the fuck is spending 10k on a pc 2 paychecks will get you a good pc nowadays.
just got one of these

4700X should surpass 9900K, meaning that we get groundbreaking speeds in a long time. Ryzen 3000 merely caught up with Intel.
As for RTX 3060, based on the recent leaks it should outperform 2080 Ti with ray tracing on, making Turing look shitty in comparison.

AMD Sempron 140 Processor
3GB RAM

NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE
Is this even worth trying to upgrade? Or should I just get a whole new PC?
Parker Stewart
RTX is a fucking meme. Don't worry about that shit unless you're one of those console dirtpoors that want 30FPS because MUH GOD RAYS!!!!!!!!
Lincoln Thompson
Not him, but mine is going strong after 4 years still at 1080p. If you're a budget person like OP, 1080p will be fine for a good long while on budget cards.
Cooper Robinson
Brandon Hughes
Fuck bro, even a 7th gen console would be an upgrade at this point

>60 series card surpassing a fucking 2080 Ti
Are you shilling or just stupid?

you could find a better computer off of the street during your neighborhood's electronic recycling day.

PcPartPicker builds might give you better answers than Zig Forums. My suggestion is spec out a nice Ryzen 3600 build (look for a MoBo/Ram bundles on clearance bc of new gen), make sure you have an SSD for boot and HDD for games and a decent case/air cooler.
As for GPU your best value is AMD but go used NVIDIA if you don't wanna risk the shit drivers (5700 owner). Also look at VRAM too because I'd much rather have the 5700 with 8GB sans RTX than the 2060 with 6GB and RTX for the same price (driver autism aside).
Adam Wilson
You do realize that playing without ray tracing in like 2022 will make the games look like you were trying to play Half-Life 2 on a Voodoo 3 card? Have fun looking at bright as fuck corridors in games with obvious lack of care for the environments when devs start to focus more and more on RT on by default.
David Hernandez
Is 16GB RAM enough for next gen or should I go for 32GB meme?
