I wouldn't invest in replacing the core parts just because of this game. If you face more constraints later, keep that in mind. Also, adding a 1080ti isn't worth it unless you're preparing for an update to something newer soon. Remember, W10 support ends in October 2024, so any investment for a gaming rig should align with W11 unless you're comfortable with Linux.
Not familiar with Linux, possibly need to purchase a new system. Ugh! Thank you for the advice.
No worries. Even an i3 10100 performs better than your 2600K. Just to mention, there are budget options available that surpass the old i7. It was legendary and still relevant, though gaming is now quite outdated.
I don’t know if you have a MicroCenter nearby, but they’re offering the R5 3600 on sale. With the motherboard discount and an RX 6600, you could assemble a system around $500—significantly better than what you have now.
I'm currently using a pair of Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) DIMMS, 1600MHz _ 9-9-9-24 1.5V units. I think 16GB is the upper limit for this build.
I own a 3600 and even though it isn't the newest, it still handles gaming quite well, which makes it hard for me to see a clear reason to upgrade. I'm also thinking about getting an R5 5600G since having an integrated GPU would add a few dollars in value.
