RTX 4070 super: $599.99
RTX 4070 super pre sale price bump: $620.00
RTX 4070 super on holiday sale: $599.99( Wow! It's on sale)
It's time to make the jump guys!
Apparently PCPartPicker also keeps price histories, so if you are shopping outside Amazon do use it.
Is it expensive to upgrade? YES! Is PC gaming your main hobby, and if so, should you upgrade? YES! Spoil yourself! Hype yourself up by watching some Monster Hunter Wilds gameplay, and then buy yourself new parts/PC.

That's one of MANY posts I had giving people advice since I KNEW Capcom wasn't going to listen to any of the "My CPU can't run this game!!111" topics. Of course not! I add valuable advice in saving money and buying new parts/PC for Black Friday and/or Cyber Monday.
I'm so sick of this bs.
My wife's PC cost us less than £600 and smashed the beta at 1440p.
Buy smarter.
Happy to help others with PC part picker lists, upgrade paths etc.
Wilds doesn't look that much better than World, even on the highest settings, but it's incredibly more demanding. We've crossed the point of diminishing returns.
AMD R5 5500 (£75 - was £60 when we purchased)
MSI B550 Gaming Gen3 (£75)
16GB DDR4 3200Mhz (can't remember the brand, it wasn't any of the big ones, who cares all the chips are made by the same 5 companies anyway) (£35)
Sapphire RX6700XT Pulse (£330 - we paid £280 after rebate)
Some cheapo airflow case (like £25) and a PSU I had lying about
£540 + PSU
Could probably find better deals today.
People just need to buy smart and also put their biases to one side. There are some really overlooked brands out there.
My Powercolor 7800XT was £50 cheaper than the other brand names because Powercolor has a 'bad brand name', yet reviews clearly showed it competing with the best 7800XT's in performance, cooling and noise levels.
That's utter crap, Wilds is massively improved graphically over World.
I have a 1080 so that's what I benchmarked as the control.
3060 is ~2% worse than 1080: $280
3080 is ~45% better than 1080: $736
4060 is ~19% better than 1080: $285
4070 is ~86% better than 1080: $490, cheapest option for a >50% improvement
4070-S is ~110% better than a 1080: $549
4070-TI is ~134% better than a 1080: $740
4080 is ~183% better than a 1080: $993
Further than this is even more expensive for less than 50% improvement over the 4080.
So, I can drop a grand on a nearly 200% increase, drop half a grand for a 90% increase, or drop 3/4ths of a grand on a 130% increase.
Idk about you, but I don't have $500-1000 to spend on a GPU when I'm paying off a mortgage, University tuition, car payments, and feeding myself, my wife, and our animals. Not counting utilities and medical expenses
For example, on a 4070 1080p high runs about the same as cyberpunk 2077 with path tracing. I don't see anything about this game that should make it that performance intensive.
My CPU is the i9-9900k which benchmarks ~5% worse than your CPU.
So a 5% better CPU and a 20% better GPU was enough to, and I quote, "smash the beta"?
In what world is a 4060 2% worse than a 1080?
It's like 20% faster!
Is someone using user benchmark....
Anyway.. here's a list under £900 using a more modern platform with some future upgrades. R5 7600, 32Gb of RAM, RX7700XT, quality PSU
