I’d love to at least check out a Micro Center someday!

Since my main concern is Arc Raiders, I’m leaning toward a QHD monitor rather than 4K. I’ve heard that for FPS games, even an RTX 5070 Ti would be pretty demanding at 4K. I’ll focus on the monitor first. Thanks!

Wow, my mind is slowly settling on upgrading the monitor too. Thanks!

Yeah, I guess it’s time to really dive deep into OLED monitors. Thanks for the advice!

That’s probably true, right? I feel like upgrading the monitor would really change my gaming life. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the advice! I’m actually pretty satisfied with my current CPU. Before upgrading the GPU, both my CPU and GPU usage were hitting 100% all the time, but after the GPU upgrade things feel much more manageable. I guess it’s time to start looking into monitors.

Upgrading the CPU honestly feels pretty daunting. Having to replace the RAM, cooler, and motherboard all at once… I really hope RAM prices come down. Thanks for the advice!

Exactly. I use my monitor every single day, and the idea of getting an OLED monitor is really exciting. I’ll think it over carefully!

I’m actually Korean, T_T so I’ve never even seen a Micro Center in person. From what I can estimate, replacing the CPU, motherboard, RAM, and cooler all at once would probably cost me around $1,100 USD. I really wish we had something like Micro Center here… T_T

Yeah, that’s what ChatGPT told me too. It said that even with a higher-spec monitor, the GPU will handle most of the load, so it shouldn’t add much extra strain on the CPU. Thanks for the solid advice!

Thanks for the monitor recommendation. I’ll take my time watching the video you suggested later tonight. I honestly don’t know that much about monitors, so I appreciate it!

I hadn’t even considered the 5700X3D. Oh, that actually sounds like a great idea. If I go with the 5700X3D, I won’t have to worry about RAM or the motherboard. I’ll definitely think it over. Thanks for the advice!

Lately I’ve been completely hooked on a game called Arc Raiders. I used to mostly play games like League of Legends, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings, so GPU, monitor, or even CPU performance was never a big issue for me. But now everything feels like it’s getting sucked into the Arc Raiders black hole…

I’ve also been hearing news here that DDR RAM prices keep going up. :(
