PCs lasts longer than consoles. In 2017, I got myself a 1080 Ti FTW3, and a Ryzen 7 1800X. The 1800X was upgraded to a 3900x, and the minimum upgrade in terms of GPUs that I would even remotely consider is a 3080 Ti. There's not enough of a bump to justify getting a whole new card for the small bump in performance I'd get.
Furthermore, except for the fighting games that are mandatory locked at 60 fps, I don't play games at that frame-rate. I play at 2560 x 1440, and 120 FPS, although my monitor supports up to 165, the slightest frame drops drive me up the wall.
My monitor is 1MS Gray to gray, and 9ms display lag. My 4096 X 2160 tv has 17ms display lag. I COULD play on my 4K TV, but I'd much rather play on my monitor. So, games running at 4K 60 on consoles, would run just fine at WQHD 90 on my PC. I'd still get higher framerates, better load times, less input lag, and the ability to use mouse and keyboard.
I've been playing fighters on controller for too long. It's literally the only type of game I'll use a controller for... and driving games.
But, unless you have something less than a 1080 ti, you don't need to upgrade right away. I've had nvme in my PC since I built it, and that's faster than the SSDs that I also have in my PC. And people want to talk about how great SSDs are going to be for the next generation... Ok, good. I've been prepped for that, for years now, thanks for catching up.
