Mine is still going strong, it can run Gemma 4 26b. It can still play all the games I care about at near max settings at 1440p at 60 FPS (like Elden Ring).#
My PC did coincidentally die today (not GPU related) so I think it's time for an upgrade, what do you recommend?
Ryzen 5000 cpus are extremely cheap right now. I bought a 5900xt (16 cores) to upgrade a server a few weeks ago for ~$250. If you already have DDR4 you could put together a system for pretty cheap if you need it soon.
The downside is that AM4 is basically EOL, so no upgrade path.

Without knowing what you'll use it for, probably a 9970x + RTX Pro 6000 would do the trick, YMMV.
I don't know about you, but most of us don't want to drop $10k+ on a GPU!
