Budget (including currency): $1,500 (US)

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Forza Horizon 5, BeamNG Drive, Need for Speed(any), random obscure early 2000s racing games, Borderlands, Burnout (any), 3d modeling in Fusion 360 (and possibly blender in the future), occasional video editing, DOOM (any), other racing games

Other details :

  • refresh rate: 120 fps
  • resolution: 1080p is fine, will go with 1440p if I have to
  • Already have mouse and keyboard
  • Already have 1920X1080@60Hz Viewsonic monitor, but will upgrade if necessary
  • No clue when I’ll buy, though sometime in the near future

Absolute budget limit is 1,500 but I would prefer to keep it under 1,000.

The memory capacity and 3060 12GB is me thinking about 3D modelling, but for gaming you don't need it.

 

FYI: some racing games show big gains from X3D CPUs, especially at lower resolutions.
