Yeah, so many people cant spend 3 minutes to do basic research it baffles me. There needs to be a rule on this sub about these kinds of posts.

I think some people just got super used to the hardware stagnation of the 2010s, all you needed for a long time was a good four core Intel CPU plus the occasional GPU upgrade and you were set, and, honestly, it was kind of the same for GPUs. I mean, the GTX 1000 series and many of the higher end 900 series dominated hardware for years, even over their direct sucessors. I believe that's why we keep seeing bizarre CPU + GPU combinations and the fact that the new GPU market has been borked for years isn't helping things either.
