I own a Rtx 2060 i5 8400 but it’s not fast enough for the games I’m playing, like Alan Wake 2. My 16 GB RAM is only 2666mhz. I haven’t been keeping up with PC hardware lately, so I need recommendations for graphics cards and CPUs that would give me a solid high-performance system. I was thinking about the 4070 GPU but don’t know much about CPUs right now. Ryzen seems like a good choice for value. For budget, I’m considering financing through services like Scan, which lets you pay monthly without going crazy. I also want to keep my HDD and SSD, so I’m looking for options that let me skip the SSD entirely to save costs. Any suggestions would help (including links to pre-built models would be nice).

Amazon, Scan and Ebuyer provide financing options and there’s likely more to explore. This offers a solid estimate of costs for a current PC setup. The 120mm fan is located inside the back panel of the case, serving as a rear exhaust solution.

The recommended GPU models depend on your current setup and future plans. For a 1080p monitor, consider upgrading to 1440p if needed later. If switching to an RTX 4070, choose a compatible model based on your system requirements.

Prices for SSDs have dropped significantly, so it's a good time to purchase them!

I planned to keep my existing model in the updated version instead of purchasing a new one.

Please ensure your username matches your query. Would using the I5 12400F with a 4070 lead to any performance issues?

The latest titles are increasingly demanding an SSD for optimal performance, especially when launching Wake 2.

Sorry, I'm still unclear about your request. You mentioned having a PCIe 980 with wake 2 installed and planning to use it for a new build.
