16GB of RAM is very close to NOT being enough.
For a 32GB kit you don’t pay double, but you get to “future proof” your PC. And you get more RAM in case you want to run VM’s. Just my 2 cents.
FYI: I have built a desktop (5600x and 6700xt) with 32GB, because my previous PC had 8GB and I ended up upgrading to 16GB because I was running out of RAM in many occasions.
I might not be the best person to help you with this, but here it goes.
Performance on upcoming games will depend if developers keep fucking up the optimization.
With that said! I would say a combo of 7800X3D and RX 7800XT would put you close to 2k€ (price based in Portugal).
This is assuming the following parts:
I know this is not an Nvidia build, and the reason is, AMD is promising FSR to work even with older games.
Hope this helps.
You might have it in 20 years The question is… When will we get servers that support that speed? XD
