| JEMC said: @haxxiy_ The 3600 is a solid upgrade, and you already said how much of an improvement it will be. I would personally try to get an 8 core processor because of next gen consoles will have one and ports aren't always well optimized, but I'm sure you'll be fine. @EricHiggin_ Looks like both you and your parents got a nice X-mas upgrade too. Congrats. |
Thx. The i5 probably could've stuck around a few more years with some upgrades, but with AMD pricing in general, plus the sales that were coming, it just made sense to build a couple new rigs. Usually I would build a master race level PC which I would share with my brother, along with our console(s), and then 3-5 years down the road I would pass it off to my parents and build another high end rig. Neither I or my bro have been into PC gaming near as much, since the PS3 and 360 era slowly pulled us in and has kept us since for the most part. That's why I still had the Q6600 from 2007. The shame, oh the shame.

PRO -%-We must build a console that's VR ready, checkerboard upscales, and sells but a fraction of the money printer.
PS5 - ^ -We must build a console that’s a generational cross product, with RT lighting, and price hiking.
