Couldn’t agree more. I upgraded my FX6300 to an i7 7700 and can now play all the games I actually desire to play on the highest settings. I feel like modern hardware left most people in a weird dream world where only the shiny new halo products actually have a place to exist. Low spec gaming feels way more grounded in this sense, because the people specifically get the stuff they need without overbuying, just like almost all other tech niches do.
