This is my current configuration
Processor - Intel i3-8100 3.60GHz
RAM - 16GB GSkill Ripjaws DDR4 2400MHz
Graphics Card - Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti 4GB GDDR5
Motherboard - MSI B360M PRO-VD
1 TB NVMe M.2 SSD
I want to upgrade my graphics card in particular as it can no longer support recent games like Alan Wake, GoW Ragnarok, etc. I am a medical student so I remain busy most of the time but I do get short bursts of mini-vacations every 3-4 months. I am also tight on money so I just need to make a minimal upgrade at the moment, so that I can play the current games.
My budget is around 30k INR (300GBP), which scenario would be the best? -
1. Get an RTX 4060 (which version, I am not sure) and upgrade my board and CPU next year with my savings - will my current CPU + RAM work well with RTX4060?
2. Upgrade CPU (i5 12th gen) + board + GPU (probably RTX 3050 or RX6600)?
Basically, I need to know whether buying 4060 and coupling it with i3 8100 + 16gb DDR4 TEMPORARILY will work or not? Or the bottleneck will be too grave
