I still have my GPU / SSD / HDD or the PSU to save money and migrate them to the new PC
that I plan to build. Since the major component that needed to be upgraded is just the
Motherboard, Memory, and the Processor. Thank goodness Memory pricing I guess is going down
now and luckily I bought my GTX 1060 6gb just September of Last year 2017 before the Crypto
boom that forced the Graphics Card manufacturer to skyrocket there prices due to shortages.
I know i5 4670k is still a great processor till this day and it can still play games smoothly 60fps
no problem at all. I don't know how long the i5 4670k can keep up I felt that it might already
be its last leg.
I'm going all out AMD because of Ryzen this year and I've been using Intel for the past 5 years.
I've been back and forth with AMD and Intel. I remember the last AMD that I got is an old
AMD Phenom II X6 1055t 2.8Ghz back in 2012.
