Don't fall for the slopaganda, you don't need a cutting edge graphics card to play modern games.
Yop. I've got a monster of a PC ... in the garage, buried in a box somewhere, following a cross-country move. It plays anything.
In the interim, I'm running on a little bitty "Mini PC" that fits in the palm of my hand. Beelink SER 5, Ryzen 7, 8 core. I put 64GB of RAM in it and a 4TB SSD. Motherfucker plays practically everything I've thrown at it. Admittedly I don't chase the newest 200GB CoD installs, but Kenshi, Factorio, Satisfactory, Minecraft, Space Engineers, A-Train 9, Workers & Resources (60 FPS!), Skyrim, Fallout 3/NV/4, No Man's Sky (!), Cult of the Lamb, The Long Dark, Oxygen Not Included, Stardew Valley, AI War 1 & 2, XCOM: Enemy Within (w/Long War), Subnautica, Frostpunk, Left 4 Dead 1 & 2, fuckin' Doom 2016, Slime Rancher 1 & 2, Alien Isolation ...
All sorts of shit runs on this crazy little asshole and it has substantially bruised my PC-building ego knowing how high above its weight class it can hit compared to the monster I spent thousands building two years ago, now collecting dust in the garage because I honestly haven't needed its performance enough to justify digging it out of the garage yet.
