I POSTED THIS HERE BECAUSE A GAMING SYSTEM IS ALL ABOUT THE GPU THESE DAYS.
System:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600
16 Gb RAM
RTX Vega 56
1Tb M.2
1Tb SSD
TUF B350M - Plus Gaming motherboard
ThermalTake micro ATX case (poor cooling / heat issues)
Old 850w power supply (with a noisy fan)
Basic question, is this Vega 56 still adequate system for current games? And, if so, how much more life could I possibly expect from this system?
The most recent games that I have played are Red Dead Redemption 2 and MechWarrior 5, both of which cause this system to generate far too much heat.
Wondering if this system is worth transferring into a mid-tower with upgraded cooling and replacing the old power supply, or if I would be better off putting up the cash for a new system?
I could potentially afford to build a new system, but the only way to get a decent GPU is to buy a prebuilt system, which inflates the price even more. Also, I absolutely HATE this trend of cases with glass panels and fancy lighting, and that seems to be the only case style being offered on pre-built systems these days. I prefer a system so black that light can't escape it's gravity. The only things that should be visible with the lights off are the monitor, keyboard and mouse.
