Hey! You’ve got a solid setup with 6GB RAM and an older i3 processor. The main concern is your memory capacity—you’re using two 8GB sticks, which is great for now, but you’re thinking about the future. Since your games run smoothly at 4K and you don’t mind sacrificing some texture quality, upgrading RAM isn’t urgent unless you notice performance drops. As for the CPU, you’re looking for something compatible with your current hardware, so an i5 or i7 should work well. If you want a future-proof boost, consider a mid-range i5 or even an i7 later, but don’t rush into a new motherboard just yet. Just check compatibility first and stick to what fits your budget and needs.
Avoid paying extra unless necessary. Save your funds by improving the system completely—rebuild it from scratch. This will extend its lifespan by several years. AMD Ryzen 1 and Gen 2 models are very affordable. Focus on upgrading the motherboard and processor for a fresh gaming experience.
I don’t really feel the need to play too much; the only game I’ve played in the past five years is Cyberpunk 2077, otherwise I stick to older titles. The main issue is that opening Chrome uses up a significant portion of my RAM, which is quite bothersome.
it's surprising how it runs smoothly at 4k60hz, even with GTA V and other games where settings are adjusted. the graphics card you mentioned would definitely impress me. Edit: after double-checking, that price tag seems unrealistic for me. what really matters to me is having more RAM instead of a costly CPU. Also, I'm new to this stuff, but regarding power connectors—are you asking about the power supply unit? because I swapped it during the GPU installation.
