5060 aint fast either, but it’s way faster than a 7600. $300 will let you upgrade easily to 32GB of ram, or you could sell the 5060 (they seem to be about 300-320 for completed fleabay listings) and take the saved $300 and buy a 9070xt or something which are $630 at MC. 4k gaming for $1300. PSU is 650W and should work fine.
There’s certainly CPU options out there for high fps gaming on ddr4 rigs, I just feel bad for the guys still on ddr3 who can’t eat the extra ~400 needed for a proper rig nowadays.
1300 and only 16gb of ram and a GPU on par with a RTX 3060 / RX 6650 . Brutal.
Meanwhile you can walk into microcenter and pick up a 7500x3d with a 5060 for $999

Im probably going to have to die with my 3060ti
I’m babying my 3090 like its the last GPU on earth. Undervolted, TDP way down, clockspeed capped, fans RUNNING.
It will never see 420W again.
9070xt will run circles around it for $630 or so.

Yeah. X3D 5000-series will outrun many DDR5 CPUs in games.
