PC Building

[blackleaf1]

I recently used AMD's chat (which appears to be gone now) to look at some pc build options. I ended up purchasing the RX 6750 XT and put it in my Area 51 R2 and it rocked for about a month or so. Now I think I need to turn out my R2 to pasture and build a new box and would like to use the 6750 for the GPU and build around it so I do not lose my $400 investment. Thoughts?

Are you ready to jump to the AM5 platform, or do you want to stick with the AM4 platform and perhaps get one of the X3D processors?  The new 5700 X3D should be coming out next week (end of January 2024) and either that or the 5800 X3D processor, paired with perhaps 32 GB of DDR4 RAM and a 2-TB M.2 Gen 4 storage drive would make a nice gaming computer if you add in the 6750 GPU.  The motherboard might need a BIOS update to recognize the 5700 X3D, so hang onto your older CPU until you have the new system up and running smoothly.

At almost 2 years old, the RX 6750XT is still very much a potent 1440p gaming card, the one exception being if you intend to run heavy ray tracing effects. It even does some 4k plain rasterization well too, depending on title. Unless you have a specific need outside of those parameters that the 6750XT doesn't fill, you should be good.
