Well this incoming 3070 ti has changed up my gameplan a bit. I wasn't expecting to win a shuffle so soon. Or at all.
Guess I'm shopping for a 5600X / B550 combo!! And some memory. And maybe an nvme for good measure.
I don't even know why I'm doing all this, I do not need to be spending money on this kinda shit right now. Whatever tho. I tend to stick with a build for years, so I definitely get my moneys worth out of it. I looked back at my newegg history, and it seems I purchased my current processor/mobo setup back in 2013
It's still a pretty capable setup even today as long as youre not doing anything too extreme. the AMD FX8350 is no slouch.
I dont think I ever posted it in here, but w/ that setup and my GTX 970, I captured this in Project Cars with the worst weather possible on and almost everything maxed out just to see if I could melt anything. Still ran an average FPS of 47, which isnt HORRIBLE for what I've got
But anyways, need to get a motherboard nailed down. I've been leaning toward this one for some reason
