Reply to comment by GachaSheep in PC CPU Shipments See Steepest Decline in 30 Years by diacewrb

>I want to build a new PC for my husband to replace his old 4790k/GTX970 build, but just the graphics card we’re aiming for alone is nearly the cost of a PS5.

You might consider a mitigating step and just do the graphics card. Even stepping to an RTX 3060 might be enough to go another 2-3 years on that rig especially if he's rolling 32GB of ram.

If you're looking in that price tier, I'd go AMD where the deals are much better. A 6700XT is basically the same price as a 3060 and is a substantially more powerful card.

Good point, I was thinking from a mixed use stand point where Photoshop stability and performance is very important whilst OP and her hubby are likely focused on gaming. Quality suggestion friend.
