Help with first build
A buddy gave me an EVGA 3060 13gb card a year ago along with 16gb ddr4. Another buddy has 32gb ddr4 that he is willing to give me. What cpu should I get? I’ve been considering the 5600x. How long will this setup be viable? Would it be worth my while to get a ddr5 package through Newegg or micro center even though it would cost a bit more? I would like to keep it under $1000USD if possible but can flex a bit.
I play games like Anno, Crimson Desert, Battlefield, Cyberpunk, windrose, planet zoo/coaster, and other city builders. I will get GTA when it’s available on pc as well.
Was hoping to keep it pretty low budget since I have most of the expensive parts already, but I also don’t wanna chance prices still increasing in 3-5 years time.
I currently play on an MSI Raider laptop with I believe a 2060 mobile card and it plays games fine, will this build be a huge step up in graphics/performance?
