Bought a 6700XT for 400USD last year.
But the platform update required means that I possibly only do a budget MoBo + CPU for 400
Then PSU, case, ram, cooler are all additional.
My previous CPU lasted 7 years, my Ryzen 2600 is 5 years now. Which means I can’t play Remnant 2, Starfield or Lords of Fallen. Not the best optimised games, but a trend nonetheless.
Would future proof mean getting a top shelf Intel or the 7800x3D to last 7+ years? Or just go budget every 3 years?
Apologies if I don’t make sense the current market is confusing along with inflation and random price increases
This is an unusual experience,
I’ve had a 2800x,3700x, 5800x3d built other computers with 5600x and 5600x3d. Totaling 4 computers on am4 in my house, and all are working fine.
