Oh! Didn't realize that. I mostly do gaming on my desktop, occassionally I do some Photoshop/Illustrator work when I work from home and forget the laptop, but my old computer could handle that workload just fine. I'll get back with what I go with later on. Thanks again for the advice, to both...

Quick question in regards to AMD. I haven't had AMD since the early 2000's, how do they hold up nowadays in terms of longevity? I've been using Intel since I got a Core 2 Duo way back in the day, and I've been surprised at how well they've held up their performance and manufactorer support over...

Wow! Thank you guys so much for the excellent advice! I'll be looking into these builds!

I'm thinking a max of $2500 and I'm from Denmark.

Hi everyone So I've been using my current gaming PC for 10 years now, built it in 2014 with all the bells and whistles at the time. I've upgraded the GPU a couple of times, which did extend its' lifespan quite a bit. My current PC has a i7 4770k, RTX 3070, 16GB DDR3, ASUS Maximus Formula VI...

Just a little update: I went with the monitor first, as there was a weekend deal this weekend for a 1440p Gigabyte ultrawide at 20% off, so with that discount I also had a little extra in the budget and snagged an ASUS ROG Strix X570-E mobo so I'm ready for the main upgrade in july. So far...

And just to reiterate, this decision is just for the short term, I'm gonna be upgrading both here in june/july, so I'm really just looking for the best solution so that I can play games somewhat comfortably on my PC through june.

Thanks for the advice! I'm tallying up your votes as we go along, as it seems there's a pretty even split between both sides. I'll leave it up for a few days, I'm not gonna order anything until thursday/friday.

Yeah, honestly, I've even been pretty happy with my 1080p monitor for all these years. But, as I stated above, whether it's 4k or 1440p, that's not particularly important to me, I'm mostly just looking to upgrade to an ultrawide monitor. Thanks for the advice!

Hmm, that's the impression that I'm getting. But 1440p is also just fine for me, that important thing for me as far as the monitor is concerned, is that it's an ultrawide, I've been wanting to upgrade to one for a while.

I don't think I need to benchmark to be honest. Just looking at MSI Afterburner when gaming gives a pretty clear picture, the CPU is maxed out and the GPU is hovering between 50-65%, depending on the game. Even games that used to run fine, are now experiencing stutters and severe framedrops. But...

I've thought about it, but as you can probably tell by my current build, I'm not one to upgrade all that often. I prefer to do one major upgrade with top of the line components that'll last me several years, and maybe upgrade my GPU every few years or so, so that I can run my games at high...

It's not "just" FPS, I'm really more looking for stable FPS coupled with high presets. Whether the games are running at 60 or 100 FPS aren't a dealbreaker for me, mostly that I'm getting stable frames instead of the insane highs and lows I'm getting right now. So my conundrum right now is mostly...

My current monitor is running at 144hz, but it's an ASUS VG24QE without G-Sync, so the bottleneck is very noticeable. Just as an example, playing Kingdom Come Deliverance on the 3070 at very high settings, it goes from 130 FPS and dips into the 40s, so it's really uncomfortable to look at.

Thanks for the reply! As far as games are concerned, currently I'm playing Hunt: Showdown, Escape From Tarkov, The Division 2 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Tarkov as I'm aware is a lost cause as far as FPS are concerned, no matter what hardware you run. But the other games, do you think I...
