1300 and only 16gb of ram and a GPU on par with a RTX 3060 / RX 6650 . Brutal.

    I'm babying my 3090 like its the last GPU on earth. Undervolted, TDP way down, clockspeed capped, fans RUNNING.

    It will never see 420W again.

    Make sure you can get replacement fans before you abuse them

    I can! It’s an EVGA FTW3.

    Even if I couldn’t, it’s ducted to the side of an SFF case, so I could just disconnect them, wire the PWM lead from the GPU and use 120mm case fans.

    The card rarely goes above 300W now and ingests ambient air, so the fans hardly spin up anyway.

    9070xt will run circles around it for $630 or so.

    There's certainly CPU options out there for high fps gaming on ddr4 rigs, I just feel bad for the guys still on ddr3 who can't eat the extra ~400 needed for a proper rig nowadays.

    Meanwhile you can walk into microcenter and pick up a 7500x3d with a 5060 for $999

    5060 aint fast either, but it's way faster than a 7600. $300 will let you upgrade easily to 32GB of ram, or you could sell the 5060 (they seem to be about 300-320 for completed fleabay listings) and take the saved $300 and buy a 9070xt or something which are $630 at MC. 4k gaming for $1300. PSU is 650W and should work fine.
