No, this year they are going to release 3060, 3050, 3070ti, 3080ti and "new" no mining V2 versions of current gpus.

oh well , then he should wait for 5xxx series cuz i have a feeling the ray tracing performance will be much improved by then and will be the norm

Kind of silly to wait, apart from maybe waiting until the 3000 series goes back to normal prices.
The gpu is a super easy component to upgrade so you may aswell get great perf now then sell it later and rock a gpu that will be even better.

1080p
Its fine.
I have an overclocked 1070 with 8GB on 1440p
Just choose the settings accordingly.

It's not fine even for 1080p, it wasn't even fine in 2014 when AC Unity launched...
6GB is minimum right now.

You can do that on pc too.
Plus this "solution" in consoles doesn´t help when it´s not enough and the game still has poor performance (every game at 30 ou less fps). You can upgrade or turn down graphics settings on pc, while on console you can only cry.

If you are happy with 1080p, then you can scale way back to a 3060 when they come out. Your CPU is fine (I have a 6800K). Your storage needs to go up to 32G just to be safe. Make sure your 3060 has at least 12-16G though. If you want to go to native 4k, then a 3080 is in order.

Still rocking my rx 480 runs cyberpunk 1080p med 60fps with a few tweaks, its all what you mean future proof, if you want to play on the highest settings all the time its not possible a year down the road even if you buy a 3080, there will be something better next year, i always bought budget parts, and upgraded once every 4-5 years, just look for a new gpu once you feel it has hit its limit

You can't.
Broken or heavy games come out every month.
People was convinced that a 3090 was overkill for gaming when it's not even enough to max out current gen games at 4k60, not even close.
But if you are smart and know how settings work, you can gain a shitload of performance with minimum quality loss, just don't expect to put everything on ultra everywhere.

God, you people are so full of shit it almost stinks to read.Technically, yes, you can. If you are willing to buy a whole new PC every six months
But yeah, basically a good PC is a WIP. If you want a static configuration, buy a console.

This thread is bullshit because everyone has different standards. I have a 3080 and 3800x ryzen cpu. Already considering getting the 5800x cpu and I NEED MORE FRAMES. (I use both 4k/120hz/gsync and 1440p/144hz/gsync).
If you are happy with 1080p 60 just take a look at yourself in the mirror and ask "why? I deserve better?" and waste all your money on a pc.

A 2070 will outperform an XSX/PS5.

The only card that will keep up with the consoles is the 3090.

I'm currently running a 9700K @ 5Ghz and a 2080ti @ 1440P
I don't see myself upgrading anytime soon, nothing really new has been interesting me lately, I'm mostly into fighting games, FFXIV, and JRPGs atm. Nothing is really pushing that hardware to the limits and I play most of that stuff on console lately. I mainly have my PC for multiplayer games with friends

Is this a parody post or genuine delusion?
It becomes hard to tell after some time on this board.

"Future proof" is a made up phrase. It isn't real.

Please start with accepting that there is no such thing as being future proof.
You can invest a ton of money to buy the best of the best in order to stay relevant a few years longer but in the end it will always be outdated.
It is for you to decide wether to invest more money up front or less and refresh some components sooner.

dumb question here, is m2 sata ssd NVME?

Is it worth getting a PCIe 4 compatible motherboard you think? I'm wondering will we even see games utilize ssd's that fast in the next 4 or 5 years.

I would wait, just upgrade your MB later with the same socket as your current processor, or I'm sure you could get a MB/CPU combo in 4-5 years. Who knows what will be on the market.

Futureproof?
Flight Simulator 2020 already crushes systems today.
I dread to imagine what no holds barred games of the future will do to current hardware.
So the only real answer is get rich.
Buy the strongest GPU you can get every few years.
Beyond that.
Play with lowered settings and lowered expectations.
Your 1080p60 is already a good start.

What games eat more than 16GB of RAM?

It's not really games, I mean you will do fine with 16GB, but I do have a lot of shit running, and it consumes RAM, so I always get 32 minimum, it's mostly a personal preference. You can get 16GB and upgrade later if needed.

get a 3060ti if you can find one
your processor is fine, your ram should be OK too (depending on what you do). most people are fine with 16
your mobo probably has one or two m.2 slots. invest in an nvme ssd, they're way faster than sata SSDs

3600x or 3700x CPU. 2080ti or better GPU and you're good for this entire generation. 24 GB or better of System Ram. SATA SSD.

I would say try to get a new GPU, 3060 or 3070 if you can.
Also you may want to make sure you own at least 1TB of SSD for better load times.
You dont need more than 16GB Ram.
Before you upgrade the GPU, make sure you have enough and good PSU and check the bottleneck of the CPU-GPU.

Well then 32GB is far far too little.
My multi multi million polygon CPU renders with cloth, softbody and fluid simulation will eat through that in no time.

For 1080p/60fps, no matter the graphics and loading times as OP want, there can be future proofing.
I still doubt that an 7700k at 5Ghz will not be enough for 1080p/60fps for current gen games. Maybe some CPU killer games like Assassin's creed late gen could melt it.

Yeah, you're gonna need like 11.34 PB at LEAST for that.

PetaByte. 1 PB = 1,024 TB = 1,048,576 GB
