cant you sell some of your current hardware?

#

probably could get around 300 for cpu board gpu and ram at leas, maybe 400

#

but really a mid range cpu with mid range gpu makes the most sense

#

if your budget is higher you could shell out an extra 100 for a 7800xt or 150 for 4070

#

well since youre at 1440 definitely the gpu on newer games

#

my 6650xt is as fast as 2070 super and cant do 1440 100+ unless i turn down the settings

#

on new games

#

also on am5 theres no need for a platform jump for a good while

grab these

#

and then after that get a new gpu

#

you'd want a 6700xt or better for 1440p

#

3% more performance for £50-100+ more isn't worth it

#

@hollow pebblebuying secondhand is definitely worth it

#

though any 3000/5000/7000 series amd is going to beat that 8700k for gaming performance

7800xt is 479 gbp, 6800xt is 490

#

still not worth it tbh

as of right now, more vram and performance for the price when it comes to mid and high end

#

on the low end, amd is pretty meh

#

nvidia is too though

#

low end is just a no go this gen

#

70-95% the performance for half the price in most cases

amd stopped slashing prices and nvidia lowered theirs somewhat

#

generally more power efficient cpu

#

you can draw more performance out of an older gpu by using a newer cpu instead

#

even if you went with an r5 5600, b550 mobo, and used the ram you have, you'd get more performance out of the 1070ti you currently have

#

though i'll warn you, palworld is relased being partnered with amd, so it works better with an amd gpu

#

option #2 mainly
