This was supposed to be my upgrade cycle. I built our PC’s in 2021, and i tend to upgrade every 5 years. Between the pricing and industry collapse, and just plain having more fun with low spec games, i don’t know how long it’s going until i upgrade again.
I built mine in 2015 and planned to upgrade 10 years later but I was waiting for a better CPU than Zen 5’s X3D lineup (read: either more cores or dual die cache), then the RAM situation happened. This is how I’m playing games on an Intel 4770k in 2026.

I mean, that was a solid cpu, but damn.
Actually things like Final Fantasy XIV are still very much playable on it
