Hey everyone, I'm looking for some advice on a (short-to-mid-term) GPU upgrade.
Right now, the main use of this PC is for audio recording/mixing, eventually rendering videos, and only sparingly playing games (but I do play them). So, I took advantage of the Black Friday sales and recently managed to upgrade my CPU (from a Ryzen 5 3500X to a Ryzen 7 5700X) and my PSU (from a Deepcool DA500 to a Corsair CX650F), thinking to extend the PC's longevity a little longer.
I know that now the bottleneck of my PC relies in its GPU (an Asus TUF 1650 Super OC). It still play some games, but not in a superb quality (I must give up some graphics quality to have a fluid gameplay in some titles). However, I must say I'm not a very avid gamer, and I don't play competitive or multiplayer games, prefering single player games with story mode (Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Tomb Raider trilogy, Control, Horizon Dawn Zero...).
So, having all that info, which GPU would you buy for your PC, thinking about a nice graphic quality, and without needing an update for some time, without sacrifice a good cost/benefit ratio?
I thought about getting a 3060TI or a 6700XT, but don't know if they'd be overkill for what I'm looking for. And, talking about the 6700XT specifically, I got a good deal in a PowerColor Red Devil, but it's said in its official site that it requires a 700W PSU (where other 6700XT I'm seeing requires a 650W PSU), and I don't know if the CX650F would handle it satisfactorily.
Current PC Specs:
AsRock B450M Steel Legend | AMD Ryzen 7 5700X | Noctua UH-12S Redux (Dual Fan) | Team Group T-Force Delta RGB TUF Gaming 32GB (4x 8GB DDR4 3200Mhz 16-18-18-38) | Asus GTX 1650 Super TUF Gaming OC | Team Group T-Force Cardea II M.2 NVMe 512GB | WD Red SA500 NAS M.2 SATA 500GB | Seagate Barracuda 2TB | Corsair CX650F 80 Plus Bronze | Pichau Gadit X RTB | Scythe Kaze Flex PWM 120mm 1200RPM (intake) (x3) | DeepCool RF120 120mm (exhale) (x3) | Pichau Ultraview Full HD IPS 5ms 75Hz 21" | Redragon Tiger II M709 | Logitech K120 ABNT2 | Logitech F310 | Kingston HyperX Wrist Rest | Glorious Slim Mini Wirst Pad | AKG K92 | JBL One Series 104 | Presonus Eris Sub8 | Ragtech One-UP Nitro 2000VA UPS
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
