Finally got the upgrade for the old system

Retired my RX 570 and upgraded to GTX 1070.
The 570 was such a trooper and hopefully the 1070 carries the system for a few more years at least.

Question : as im thinking to build a computer soon, what board and processor go well with the RTX series?

@AceWarbringer Any specific RTX card?

@Jessmari not yet. Im looking to make a gaming pc for mor indie style stuff. While still able to handle graphics.

My main time sinks are factorio, space engineers, kerbal space program, rimworld and a bunch of others.

So i want a heavy-duty system to handle factorios many movig items and still work well with Kerbals heavy graphics load from its sim engine.

@AceWarbringer Those are more CPU intensive games. You could get a 3060 gpu and it would be overkill. I would definitely go 7800x3d cpu or better to handle all the goings on with those sort of games. You'll want plenty of ram. 32 GB is becoming pretty standard these days.

@AceWarbringer AMD Ryzen 5000 or 7000 series CPUs with B550 or X570/B650/X670 motherboards fitted with GeForce RTX 4060 Ventus 2X
