Upgrade

[wassup]

So... I just recently watched the presentation of the new RTX 3000 series, and to be honest, the look incredible. Of they could truly deliver in their performance I feel like the could sort  of revitalize the graphics Cards market. I was wondering though, if I should upgrade my computer. I'm currently using a GTX 970 with a core i5-4590 and 8 gb of ddr3 ram. The computer still suits me fine, and I was wondering if I should get an entirely new machine or upgrade this one. I'd say that I would be willing to spend at most 800$-1000$.

at a 1000$ budget you would most likely be able to get a new build with a 3070 in it. however, you should wait and see what the 3060 has in store and what its gonna be priced at.

 

i dont think an upgrade would be pretty viable, as you'd have to get new ddr4 16gigs of ram, and a new cpu and motherboard, to compliment your 3070/3080.

Completely agree, see what the 3060 performs like, and then make a decision from there.

tbh if i was you i would either wait to see if there is a 3060 coming and what amd plans to bring to the table because amd needs to do something to bring their new cards to a simular price to performanceotherwise they will not sell much
