How many TechSpot readers like me have rigs that are old as the hills, at this point.
i7 2600k @ 4.8ghz, 16GB 2133mhz DDR3, and GTX1080.
My System is old as dirt. My Server uses a newer Ryzen 1700.
But now with kids I just dont have time and don't use my desktop as often. Rarely play games on it any more. Sits in its own office. When I do game lately it has been mostly Switch or Xbox in the living room. But when I want to play something like Anno that is a job for the PC. Plus Draining a loop is a pain.
I'm thinking Zen4 might be my next system.
Still got my Pentium 4 “Prescott” with an Asus Radeon X800 XT sitting in the loft. I think it’s a spiders nest now.
Funny I still have my old Athlon 64 with a Radeon X800XT (was a vivo model that I flashed to the X800XT when that was the thing to do). Probably hasn't been turned on in half a decade, but I keep it around for when I need a Windows XP machine. Normally I'd just boot up a XP VM.
