Demand is so high for new-gen hardware (Vermeer, RDNA2, Ampere) that it's hard to recommend anything new. If you are happy with what you have then just keep rolling with that until you start seeing unacceptable performance in your eyes.

Well said, Dr! I've lived your view for 30-years or more when it comes to rig upgrades or replacement. That's why I asked if there was a GAME on the market that is so demandng that it can stress my current investment. I enjoy balancing features against available funds when it comes to certain hardware. This is because my wife, who's the family CFO, likes presentations when I justify what I want and the cost.

Honestly I can't think of any current titles that will truly tax your system, with the possible exception of MS flight sim 2020.

I owe myself a copy of FS 2020 anyway. The sad thing about this is that if my box doesnt run it at full detail, I'll slowly start to fret over an upgrade or new box.

Wait, there's nothing sad about that! 😆

The thing is, even NVidia GPUs have PCI-E 4.0 now (with Ampere line-up). And only AMD offers a consumer platform with PCI-E 4.0 support. So if you want to play @ 4K60, then you're going to want something with PCI-E 4.0, IMHO, alongside an Ampere (or Big Navi) card. Intel won't have PCI-E 4.0 on a consumer platform until Rocket Lake, which likely won't be until 2021. Plus, I heard in a HardwareUnboxed video, or maybe it was GamersNexus, that many of those so-called "PCI-E 4.0 Ready" Z490 boards on the market right now, may not, in fact, turn out to be fully PCI-E 4.0 "ready" (*) for Rocket Lake, and that a new generation ("Z590?") chipset will be announced corresponding with Rocket Lake release, which will be fully "PCI-E 4.0 Certified" on Intel platform. But again, you'll have to wait until some time in 2021, most likely, for that to happen.

(*) Remember many years ago, when many consumer PCs were sold with Windows 98se/ME/2000, as "Vista Ready". And yet, they weren't. Yeah, that.
