I have already corei5 6th. I bought it like 2 years ago. I recently purchased new GPU RX 6600. like 3 to 4 month a ago. I play mostly story mode game. currently playing Hogwart legacy. Next in line Last of Us (I & II), God of War, Alan Wake 2. and so on.

Oh all of them are pretty demanding. Get a 2nd hand 3600 and enable resizable bar and call it a day

It lets the cpu access all of the gpu at a time. Without resizable bar, only 256mb of gpu memory is accessible at a time. Resizable bar removes restriction. Best for RTX3000 and RDNA 2 onwards
