That's when I build my current machine. Looks like upgrading is off the menu. Again.

    Honestly, if you don’t mind gaming at 1080p, and keeping graphical settings reasonable in order to maintain a playable frame rate - you could be OK for a couple more years.

    Otherwise if the upgrade itch just becomes too much, the Steam Machine could very well be a suitable entry point - provided that RAM model prices don’t continue to skyrocket.

    I truly cannot wait for the day that the current AI bubble bursts.
