Hi,
I have been looking for a few weeks now to upgrade my current computer, here is my current setup:
That config still works well, but I would like to refresh it, especially to pair it with a 1440p monitor
I have been thinking about changing the graphic card alone and switch to an RTX 3060, but I am afraid the CPU will drag the system down
Can I keep my current MB/CPU, at least for a time and upgrade it next, or will it limit the new system too much ? The PCI Express slots are one concern as they are only Gen 3.
I saw that the RT 6600 could be a good alternative to the GTX 3060, but I have a very bad memory of my last AMD GFX cards, although it was a long time ago: buggy drivers, very limited configuration options and crashes
I was aiming at 900/100 euros to buy a new monitor and a new GFX card, but I can go higher if required, after my research the only thing I manage to pinpoint is the monitor but nothing is set in stone, I was looking at :
Dell S3222DGM which seems G sync compatible, although the informations are not clear).
Current games I play / wanna play:
Any advice would be more than welcome as I am drowning under the various options xD
