What is the minimum acceptable upgrade can I get?
The most useful guidance you’ll receive is to upgrade only when your existing setup can’t support the program you want to run. Once that’s addressed, invest heavily in a new machine with the best components available. Consider upgrades gradually—bit by bit. If your current system has NVMe for quicker loading, think about replacing the cooling solution with a premium AI water cooler for better airflow. Later, you can upgrade to a newer graphics card if needed. You might also decide to swap the motherboard based on its features, such as NVMe support or other limitations.
Thanks for the support. I’m still able to play the games I want right now, though I’m facing some odd problems with the mouse, OS, and wireless device. That’s a different matter altogether. Appreciate the advice—I’ll wait about three months, focusing on positive thoughts. Prices are dropping locally, so I expect to upgrade my GPU, CPU/Mouse, and power supply then. Right now I’m using a 1060 with 6GB RAM; I can’t wait for prices to normalize. If I don’t upgrade my CPU/Mouse, I’d need around 800-1000 for a GPU. I’ll save up until October just to buy everything else. I currently have 2TB NVMe Gen3 storage for games, a 2.5TB SSD for the OS, and an HDD for other stuff.
