What game encouraged you to make your new PC, or upgrade? (lemmy.world)

Since the minimum and recommended specs for Starfield have come out, I've been budgeting to do a big upgrade on my PC with an AMD 6800 xt and a fancy new 1 TB SSD (which is the first game I've ever seen that requires an SSD) just so I can run the game in all it's space epicness.

What was the game that you were so excited for that you made the jump to upgrade your PC to the next gen of hardware? New or old!

Starfield is my current 'need' to build a new PC - What i have, i built in 2017 because my PC at the time was a cobbled-together mess and i wanted to treat myself, so i built all-new with a 7700k, 32GB, and a fresh 1080ti - It's been great all this time, but really is showing its age. So next up i'll be building something to last me at least 4 years and it may well be: 7900xtx (but waiting until towards the end of the year in case something better comes out, or waiting a little longer is justified), 7800X3D, 64GB DDR5, PCIE5 mobo and a 2TB M.2, a 2TB SSD and a 1200w PSU.

If that doesn't last me 4 years.....

And i at least know i can slam any game to max at 4k 120hz (bar RT) without worry, and perhaps with FSR.

Ideally i'd like to wait for a card after the 7900XTX, maybe this supposed RDNA 3.5, or maybe the 8000 series if it's soon enough. All rumours right now, so i will at least wait until maybe November or early December and then cash in on the included Starfield with the CPU. Bonus!
