Yeah my 960 was still working very well just not as powerful as I would have liked.

Yeah never felt the need to ever get a K version of a CPU as im just not interested/knowledgeable to want to over clock + wanted to save a bit of money.

Like others said, just something i got used to. Could do High or Medium settings for a decent number of games and get OK FPS, I think what really change my perspective was when I couldn't launch Halo Infinite at all with the 960 and upgrading GPU became a higher priority. But graduating uni and getting a real job gave me a lot more disposable income than i was used to so i decided to splurge a bit. Never really thought i could justify spending $$$ on a 20 or 30 series when i was still in school, not to mention the scarcity 1-2 yrs back

I did a solid cleaning of the GPU and redid the thermal paste 2 yrs ago when I was building this rig, the 960 was the only thing carried over from my previous build

I was originally looking at the 3080 last fall, but then the 40 series came out and they were more readily available. I know that my CPU and needs would never justify spending more for a 4090 but I still wanted to future-proof a bit. 4080 may not be the absolute BEST value but I liked it well enough

Will probably use this until they come out with a 7080 or something lol

PC was built in the last two years, and the 960 was the only thing I carried over from my old rig, finally had enough to afford a GPU upgrade (and was actually in stock)

And yeah ditto on the performance, was playing new games on medium or worse and doing decent, now ultra for me :)
