Good morning,
I have made a few posts over the years about intending to get a new system, but the timing never seemed right whilst my system continued to be "adequate". With the release of the new generation of AMD hardware I would like to make this the time when I finally retire my 2014 system and update to something that will hopefully feel great for another 8 years!
I am running on a triple-1080p monitor setup and have no specific plans to upgrade in resolution. As the spec details, I am currently using an RTX 3060 which I intend to put into the new system and use going forward, so my budget is entirely for the other PC components. I have a general idea about what I want, but the new generation of hardware poses questions I'm not well-equipped to answer, so I leave this to your judgment on whether anything is seriously mismatched. Thank you for your time!
