It's been 8 years since I bought it and it still runs like a champ but ideally I'd like to actually utilize the 4k portion of my monitors.
| Current Build: | |
|---|---|
| Processor: | Ryzen 7 3700X |
| Motherboard: | ASUS B550-F |
| RAM: | 32GB DDR4 |
| GPU: | GTX 1060 6GB |
Ideally I'd like to hit at least 16GB of VRAM since I'm of the opinion that if I'm gonna spend more than $500 on a graphics card, it better at least last the next decade of new releases gaming wise. My motherboard can probably stand an upgrade too since I have a bunch of unused USB-C ports due to the fact that the B550-F doesn't have any 3.1 headers.
Don't really have a budget but I'm posting this in the hopes someone will tell me "don't buy the 4080 super you idiot" and inform me of a better, cheaper, alternative 
.
obviously YES I will be running windows, linuxheads please remain calm 
Get a used or refurb 3060 with 12gb memory. You can find them for under 300 bucks and theyre great cards.
Save your money for if you ever upgrade to a system with pcie5. Prices always go down over time (unless they dont).
True but why not save money in the meantime. If you're sticking with nvidia your best bet is 3000 series cards as the 4000 series are not as good of a value for not much more performance.
