Good evening, I hope this is the right way to ask this, but I’m looking at upgrading my graphics card, and other bits if needed. I want to be able to play the latest games (cyberpunk, Elden ring etc) on average graphics and ensure it’s smooth. My PC is around 7 years old and it wasn’t top of the range when I bought it so well overdue an upgrade. Any suggestions are welcome, I’m fine with PCs but not super techy so I thought I’d ask! I don’t need something mega, just something solid that will last for a few more years. I’ve dealt with a 970 for 7 years so I’m not particularly fussy
