If you wouldn't follow your own advice it's probably not very good advice.youre deciding for op based on what YOUD do, but op said what he wants. which means get something a bit more then what he has, and imo, the upgrade path would be a good performance to dollar ratio.
every single post I read is always to push to buy newest equipment. I always wonder how many are pr reps with interests and agenda, not IF there are pr reps here
a slow upgrade means adding some newer components. pay attenion please. could be he doesnt want a new system or under the harsh times for the world cant allow himself to upgrade now.
@Darrii
you can buy faster cpu for that board for cheap and a gpu like the 1660 used for little money. youll notice a good increase in performance. you can probably play some games at medium/low on some settings for sure. 50+fps is perfectly great to play.
I believe that if you have the money, go a bit higher like 5600x (used) and a board will cost around $100 like I have b550m aorus elite. and 16gb ram is fine. maybe a used 108ti if you can find it.
Max CPU performance he can get from an "upgrade" on same platform is maybe 10%. Mostly less than that as games need single core speed, not many threads.
Wasted money is wasted money.
It's duty of people giving advice to give good advice, not tell the OP what he wants to hear.
So far, it seems most people understand and are doing that.
A ~10% upgrade with no support for newer tech required for modern OS/Software, effectively no ST improvement, higher power draw on a 10 year old motherboard, etc. For $50.
This isn't opinion, or a "PR rep" sales pitch , forget this dream, replace the platform.
OP also had thoughts of buying a RX580 in 2024, are you suggesting we entertain his idea and tell him it's a good one?
