    I thought about an upgrade for a minute from my 3700X, but I realized none of the games I play or programs I use are demanding on CPU enough that it would make any real difference in my experience.

    Games have kind of stalled out for me too, I haven’t played a AAA game in years it feels like, and the other games I do play are not that demanding on modern hardware.

    I would also need to upgrade to DDR5 RAM which is just more cost for a marginal upgrade.

      I’m in the same boat.

      Have the 3600 with a 1050ti (!), and its does a good job when I play the 2-3 games I like to play. 32gb for my apps and docker containers. Plenty.

      I see no reason to upgrade.

      It has always been like this for me. Sticked to a platform until it died and never upgraded (OK ram maybe) until I was forced to.
