What's your full setup? I've been running a 5 year old mid-tier AMD CPU, 16gb DDR4, and a 2080 super for the past several years on 1440p ultra-wide. I can get 60Hz at max settings on most AAA titles, and stable 100+Hz on moderate-high settings.

I don't plan on upgrading for a couple more years, and even then I'll probably keep my CPU until the mobo or CPU dies, just upgrading the GPU. I've never felt compelled to upgrade any other components. Hell, my PSU and original SSD are both almost 10 years old (yes I know I need to switch those out shortly)

But yeah if you're starting fresh, price to performance with consoles is always better. But it sounds like you've got set up already. I do totally agree with you on the GPU market, though. It's been ridiculous for years, I keep hoping for the market to settle some

5800x3d, 64ddr4, 4070ti, I can get pretty good frame rates at 1440p on pretty much everything (unless it's broken shit AAA releases that aren't ready, but even then I'm usually well past 60 frames). I'm definitely good for awhile, but I'm just saying. Computer prices have been nuts for awhile, I don't think they are coming back to planet earth anytime soon. I just don't see the point, unless you are an uber-hobby modder or something like that. Which I'm definitely not. I'm a mid 40s angry dad who just wants to scream at clouds lol.

I totally get it. I think the whole Xbox vs PC vs PS thing has always been annoying. If you just want something simple and cost-effective that works well, you do you.
