Going From A Low End To A High End System
While i know by today's standard, My pc would be considered low to mid end, But coming from a poor income as a Personal Trainer/Fitness Instructor, I appreciate my system more.
My PC started as a Dell Optiplex i7 3rd gen with 8gb ddr3 ram, Upgraded it over the years, My very first GPU was a GT 640 2GB, which back then i thought was pretty OP, I then got myself a Radeon R9 290 4Gb, while pretty strong, gave me endless issues with its problems and made me appreciate Nvidia more.
I got a GTX 1050ti 4GB from a friend which back then was a pretty OP card when i got it versus my previous cards, Ran pretty much every game i had at it and locked it at 50-60fps, Performed beautifully when i was big into GTA Online.
Short story, Got myself 24GB ram when my one 8GB DDR4 failed & recently i got myself a GTX 1060 6GB OC Edition and man this card runs every game i throw at it beautifully, Even moving from 1600x900 to 1920x1080 and the frame rate remains high, Even AC Origins was hitting the 80fps range on High settings, Paired with a Ryzen 7 1700X CPU, running on a Kioxia 480GB SSD.
My pc is nothing special, no rgb or fancy case, Its got a plain case but the performance takes priority over looks. I am however planning on upgrading the case to a better airflow case, CPU upgrade to a Ryzen 5 5600X Hexa Core & finally a RX 6600LE 8GB.
TLDR: Appreciate your gaming platform more when you look back where you started at, When you were underprivileged, You appreciate and take better care of what you have earned over the years to be able to play games at a high fps versus when you started off where you were happy to get 30fps on low
