I own Minisforum HX99g and it can be compared to SM and only costed me 800 eur 2 years ago. 6900hx and 6650m with 32gb ddr5.Today refurbished can go around 600eur.
5060 aint fast either, but it’s way faster than a 7600. $300 will let you upgrade easily to 32GB of ram, or you could sell the 5060 (they seem to be about 300-320 for completed fleabay listings) and take the saved $300 and buy a 9070xt or something which are $630 at MC. 4k gaming for $1300. PSU is 650W and should work fine.
There’s certainly CPU options out there for high fps gaming on ddr4 rigs, I just feel bad for the guys still on ddr3 who can’t eat the extra ~400 needed for a proper rig nowadays.
1300 and only 16gb of ram and a GPU on par with a RTX 3060 / RX 6650 . Brutal.

Meanwhile you can walk into microcenter and pick up a 7500x3d with a 5060 for $999

Im probably going to have to die with my 3060ti
9070xt will run circles around it for $630 or so.

Yeah. X3D 5000-series will outrun many DDR5 CPUs in games.
I’m babying my 3090 like its the last GPU on earth. Undervolted, TDP way down, clockspeed capped, fans RUNNING.
