Hi,
Its been a while since I was gaming and my decade old CPU sleeps in the loft with rare power-ups.
Dusted it off for some game time(GTA V) today and came to know that Rockstar has unplugged the support for Windows 7 & 8 since Jan'24.
I understand that its time for an upgrade and I don't want to get out of gaming completely.
The CPU configuration is as follows;
Processor: i5 2500K
board: Asus P8Z68-V
Cooler: Venomous X
RAM: RipjawsX 16GB 1600MHz DDR3
GPU: MSI GTX 1070 gaming X 8GB
Sound card: Asus Xonar DX
SSD: Samsung 860 evo 1TB
HDD: 10TB (in 4 drives)
PSU: CoolerMaster V1000 gold
Case: CoolerMaster HAF X
I may be gaming a few hours a week, Should I upgrade my processor, motherboard, RAM & GPU or go for a console.
P.S: I know this is a never ending discussion/rival and PC has its advantages like upgrading what is needed & disadvantages like taking up it's own space, but since it is purely for gaming I'm confused.
