So, in building a new PC my plans were to start with the main build and processor, and then later in the year move to a new GPU. I've kind of come to accept that getting a new GPU in 2021 is probably not a realistic idea, and after already missing the entire 30 series line and Nvidia now releasing the 3060 which will probably sell out and be hiked up just as fast as every other GPU I'm really starting to wonder if it's even worth it.
I really wanted to, by the end of the year, have a new gaming PC that was top of the range, not budget or mid tier, but something that was going to last. I'm getting really tired of being on these mid tier cards, I suppose the benefits of the 3060 is that I get more VRAM, and its RTX and DLSS capabilities I'd assume would be significantly improved over the 2060, but at this point when you don't know what's happening with this market and manufacturers as well as distributors fail to resolve these stock issues, it just seems like a waste of money.
I don't want to upgrade from a budget card to a budget card, I've been doing that for years now,
It just feels like a waste of money. And it also means that instead of building the PC in Febuary I then have to jump to the grab to try and get any sort of GPU what so ever. I do want to move to 1440p gaming, I do want to move to RT and DLSS, but I don't want to be stuck with a 4 core CPU with a 30 series GPU and still be CPU bound in games.
What are the options here and how realistic is it that things might improve in the future to build the PC that I want.
