Sadly my PC has no POWAH:
It was a budget build I did in 2015, that is well below the minimum requirements for games now, and is becoming too slow even for general use like web browsing. It has:
- Gen 4 i3 CPU
- GTX 950 GPU
- 8 GB of DDR3
- 1 TB 7200 RPM hard drive
Weaksauce by modern standards. I've been wanting to do a new build for awhile now, the problem is coming up with the money to do it, as it will cost me around $900 to $1000 to get respectable specs. I want to do something like:
- CPU- Somewhere in the performance neighborhood of i5 12400F, i5 13400F, or Ryzen 7 5700x (would be nice to do an RX 7XXX CPU instead of 5700x, but the AM5 motherboards are quite alot more expensive for those)
- RAM- 32 GB of DDR4
- GPU- Somewhere in the performance neighborhood of RX 6650 XT, GTX 3060, ARC A770 16 GB, GTX 4060, and RX 7600.
- Storage- 1 TB PCIe gen 3 or gen 4 SSD plus a reuse of my old 1TB 7200 RPM drive for storage of non-gaming things
- Modular power supply for better cable management
- Nice new case that is quieter than my old one
Pretty pricey for me, no idea when I will be able to come up with the money to do it.
