recently I have been noticing my computer has been performing worse and worse in games it once ran quite well. I am mainly talking about rust. I played that game last over a year ago and just got back into it today but now when I try to join a server the game uses up all my ram and pagefile, windows gives a low virtual memory warning and crashes rust. At one point attempting to run the game my computer just hard reset for no reason. When I got it to run all objects and players were invisible except for their shadows.
But I digress. I feel like it is almost time to do a new build but the real dilemma I am facing is right now I have enough money to build another 500-700$ build recycling my graphics card into that build. I want to wait for the new AMD zen processors because in the past AMD has been the best bang for your buck option for budget builds. Another issue I am facing is if I build now in my 5-700$ budget range I would be stuck with DDR3 memory and that seems to be on its way out now and DDR4 has not come down far enough into the budget I am working with. I have noticed that games are using large amounts of memory now like in my rust issue. I just don't want to be stuck with ddr3 for another 4-5 years if I build a new computer now.
