Hey everyone! I'm thinking it's time for an upgrade since my current setup isn't cutting it anymore. I use my PC for both my side job and hobby, which includes video editing, rendering, 3D modeling, and of course, gaming. Here's what I'm working with right now:
- Intel i5 12400F
- 24GB RAM
- Nvidia 1660ti 6GB.
This setup used to work just fine, especially for playing League of Legends. However, I'm hitting some serious performance issues lately, especially with demanding games like SQUAD, RAINBOW SIX SIEGE, and FORZA HORIZON 5. I'm struggling to hit 144fps even in League on medium settings!
I know my RAM needs an upgrade, but since prices are all over the place, I'll stick with what I have for now. My CPU seems okay, right? I'm really hoping to find a GPU upgrade that won't break the bank; I'm aiming for around 400 euros if possible. Thanks for your suggestions!

Just keep in mind that Europe has varying prices, so make sure to look around. But for around 700 euros, the RX 9070 XT 16GB is a powerful card that can push 1440p gaming with ease, especially paired with your CPU.
Yeah, Europe is huge, so prices vary. For Eastern Europe, I’d suggest staying under 400 euros. The options might be limited, but there should be some decent midrange offerings that can meet your needs without overspending.
If you're on a budget, the RX 9060 XT 16GB is a solid choice. You should be able to find it within your price range, and it handles compact work and gaming pretty well!
Thanks for the tip!

That’s way above my budget though! I think the 9070 XT is a little too pricey.
