Question Keep/upgrade or Sell/build a new one

[ap0y]

Hello everyone! I just wanted some opinion on my pc right now. For now I'm playing hogwarts with it and it lag sometimes. Also playing PoE and it tends to drop fps when i have lot of mobs in the map. So is there any upgrade i can do on my pc to minimize it or is it time to sell it and build a new one? thanks everyone!

Sadly I'd say it's time to retire that once solid PC.

Thank you for the response! Is $1500 cad would be enough for a decent build?

That should work for 1080P I would think.

 

[Why_Me]

I didn't post a graphics card in this build for the simple fact the RTX 4070 and RTX 4060 are due for release this April and the 4060 should be a gaming beast at 1080P. Expect that card to have an MSRP of $400 USD.

thanks for the build. Just one question isn't that cpu will bottleneck 4060?

Nope.

Hogwarts is a very poorly optimized game people with much better parts than you have the same problem.
POE frame drops are normal with a lot of mobs on the map you are well over the recommended requirements.

If those 2 games are the only problem ones I would just keep what you have.

EDIT a 1080 video card is still a very good card for a 1080p monitor.

 

[punkncat]

Yes, I agree with the above that the GTX 1080 is certainly a keeper while still using a 1080p monitor.

If you're playing at 1080p the gtx 1080 is good for at least one more generation of games and cards.

It's time to consider a CPU/MOBO/RAM swap, however.

13400F/B760/DDR5 actually looks quite appealing and by the time you'll want to upgrade again Intel will have progressed by one or two sockets

Similarly, a Ryzen 7600 or 7700 based build will work excellently and is guaranteed to offer you a real CPU upgrade path if you want to do so in 3 or 4 years.

If you're buying new there aren't a whole lot of bad options these days, just things that are more or less optimal for your use case
