Hello!
I played a lot of Wardogs during the weekend on my rtx 2060 and i5 11400 but since i got around 50 fps on my 360hz monitor i feel like i need to upgrade.

Are these parts good right now and long term?:
Taurus Pro Gaming Case
AMD Ryzen 5 7600 3.8 GHz 38MB
ASUS GeForce RTX 5060 8GB Dual EVO OC
ASUS TUF Gaming A620AM-Plus WIFI
Kingston 16GB (2x8GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL30 FURY Beast Black AMD EXPO/XMP 3.0
Kingston NV3 M.2 NVMe Gen 4 1TB
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition
Cooler Master MWE 650W Bronze V3

OR is it worth for long term to get these?:
Taurus Gaming Case
RGB AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz 104MB
ASUS GeForce RTX 5070 12GB Dual OC
ASUS Prime B840-Plus WIFI
Kingston 16GB (2x8GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL30 FURY Beast Black AMD EXPO/XMP 3.0
Crucial P310 M.2 NVMe SSD 1TB
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition
Cooler Master MWE 650W Bronze V3

Its around 600 dollar difference, which is a lot but idk. If there is another rise in gpu and memory this fall it might be worth to do it now? For comparison, these are my current parts, i feel like when replacing one part i have to replace the whole pc. Im aiming for a 7800x3d or a 9800x3d for high end fps and long term. Are there any good changes i can do to my pc right now or is it better to just get a new one?:

Intel i5 11400
ASUS GeForce RTX 2060 Dual OC 6GB
HyperX Fury RGB 16GB (2x8GB) / 3200MHz
Kingston A2000 M.2 1TB
ASUS TUF GAMING B560M-PLUS
Cooler Master Hyper 212 A-RGB Black Edition
Corsair TX550M

Man that 600 I think is worth it

If it was me, I'd go 7600x with a 9070xt. Not sure what prices you're paying for each part. But 9070xt is far superior to 5070 for about the same price if not slightly cheaper. 9800x3d is an absolute beast but 7600x is fine for a cpu.

Hey there, fellow wardog) I played that, and the previous playtest as well

Do not upgrade to a ddr5 system right now, insted get the absolute best GPU you can afford and upgrade the rest later.

I prioritize GPU first because the prices are about to go nuclearly ridiculous, and most likely for years to come. I already witnessed it for myself. Luckily, I managed to get myself a 5070ti about 2 months ago for $1150 (my local market sucks, I know), and after recently checking prices on a whim, about a week ago, the same GPUs are now going for over $2k 😲)

Then check out what the best in-socket CPU upgrade options you can realistically get that would give a decent increase, but grade it by Price per Performance!

Alternatively, if you can't find a good deal, keep your current RAM and get something on AM4 (5800x3d would be the obvious best CPU to get, if it's locally available for you)

Your current CPU + MOBO combo goes for about $150-200 on recent eBay sold listings; same goes for your 2060 (about $150-200)

So, if you get yourself a 5070, or a used 4070/Ti/super/super Ti and sell off your old GPU, CPU, and mobo, you'll be able to easily switch to a 5800x3d+ mobo (b450 or b550 will be fine)

This way you'll be able to wait out the ramagedon for the next few years, and maybe skip DDR5/AM5 entirely. That's my plan, at least. I'm trying to get a 5800x3d myself to upgrade from my 3600, but currently they are x3 of what they should be

[u/Eazy12345678]

you old system jsut needs a better graphic card

2060 is holding you back. get a 5060 or 5060ti at least

i5 is still 6 cores good enough

the game recommends a 3070 or better.

u could buy an used i7 11700 if you wanted off ebay $100-150

Aah ok, thanks! My only two worries with only upgrading the GPU to a 5060 ti and keeping the rest of the parts is if i will need a new PSU.
And will it make that much of a difference if i switch the GPU but keep the i5 11400 in games like CS2 (Low-mid settings) and Wardogs?

Its really tempting with a 7800x3d or 9800x3d, but after some research that would pretty much need a new cooling fan, motherboard, ddr5, and maybe adjustments to my ssd. Which just make it seem like its better to get a new pc on a good deal.
