I didn't get it used before; I got it brand new in February and intend to use it for a year after the PS5 releases so I can stay current with the latest standards.
Uncertain about whether an RX570 4GB meets today's standards. As long as it runs smoothly for you, it should be fine. I’d consider moving to the 3600, since it can support any card you have now. Also, comparing PC specs to console specs isn’t reliable—focus on how games perform for you.
For a new CPU, the 2700X works well if your motherboard offers enough space for upgrades. It can handle overclocked models like the 3700X and 3800X. The 2700X itself is solid, but it demands higher RAM speeds—ideally 3200 or above—to perform well with Zen 2 processors and maintain good gaming performance. Unlike the Ryzen 3000, the 2000 series is more restrictive about RAM, so you’ll likely need to spend a similar amount on quality memory regardless of the board. If you can locate a decent motherboard and faster RAM in your area, the 2700X remains a solid choice. Otherwise, consider a 3600 if possible, as it offers better overall value. The main challenge is balancing budget, compatibility, and performance requirements.
2700X is a solid choice, but I prefer 3600. Both cost the same, but 3600 runs quicker. It’s about whether you’re into gaming or video editing.
