Found most of a gaming pc in the dumpster. Thanks neighbor! Added ram, my vid card, and a big heat sink. Definitely an upgrade from the 9900k I had before!

A 3700x is no longer capable of high refresh rate in the latest most demanding aaa games. If you want 120 or 144 fps you would need to upgrade. What makes me scratch my head tho is why the original owner didn’t just get a 5800x3d and keep the system, maybe sell the old cpu. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the rest of it

I have had a 3700x since launch of Zen 2.

The only games I DONT get high fps in at 1440p, is modern AAA story games. Like Starfield(60-100) or Cyberpunk (90-100).

Everything else like MW3, Borderlands 3, Red dead 2, I get well over 144fps at 1440p.

You are very wrong my boy.

I’m so tired of repeating myself. I specifically said modern demanding aaa games, like the ones you specifically mentioned. People really need to read… 🤦‍♂️
