Finally someone speaking my language lol.
I love how a lot of you post the specs of your "older" rig when even those put my 12 year old pile of crap to shame xD.
Current 12yo Pile of Crap:
- CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300
- GPU: GeForce 9800GT 1GB
- Motherboard: EVGA nForce 780i SLI FTW
- RAM: 4GB DDR2 400
- HDD: Western Digital 1.5TB 7200RPM
- Case: Enermax Chakra
- PSU: Silencer 750W
- Monitor: LG Flatron W2040T (1600x900 max resolution)
- OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
With that rig I play ATS in window mode at 1366x768 and get about 20 FPS if I'm lucky, at 100% scaling and most settings at medium.
New PC (WIP):
- CPU: probably a Ryzen 5 3600 (or 5600x depending on Black Friday deals)
- GPU: RTX 2060 or 2070 (or a 3060 if they're released by December and cost less than $350)
- Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) (already bought)
- RAM: either 16 or 32GB DDR 3600 depending on price
- SSD: Western Digital Blue SN550 NVMe M.2 2280 500GB (already bought)
- HDD: Seagate 2TB 7200RPM (already bought)
- Case: Cougar MX331 (already bought)
- PSU: probably a EVGA 650W bronze or gold, semi or fully modular
- Monitor: ASUS VP249QGR 24 inch 144Hz 1ms 1080p IPS (already bought)
- OS: Windows 10 Pro
- Keyboard: not sure yet
- Mouse: not sure yet
- Speakers: not sure yet
I'm trying to stay on budget so I've been buying parts when I find a good deal, and waiting to see what next gen AMD and Nvidia products do to previous gen prices, so I might not finish this until after Black Friday. Having been out of the PC market for 12 years, I first started researching a new build back in June. 6 months later I'm still working on it and getting a lot of help from @Some newbie driver lol. We're finally coming down the home stretch though I think.
