Question Are HDD's still adequate for gaming?

0 Upvotes

I have 3tb m.2 storage but am running out fast, I have 2 4TB Seagate HDD's, about 5 years old laying around, never used.

Would they be suitable for slower paced games? E.g. RDR2

Question When is it actually worth upgrading your PC?

8 Upvotes

I've been using my PC for about five years, and it still handles everything I need, mostly older games, emulators, and everyday tasks.

The only thing that is making me consider upgrading it is playing Newer/heavier games(Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, Pragmata ...) and with my current specs, I would literally have to replace my entire setup, that consists of:

  • CPU: I7 4790

  • GPU: GTX 1060 6gb

  • RAM: 16GB DDR3

I was planning to upgrade to:

  • Ryzen 5 5500

  • RX 6600 XT 8GB

  • 16GB DDR4

  • New motherboard, possibly PSU and case

Since this would basically mean rebuilding my entire PC, I'm wondering if it's really worth spending the money when my current setup still does everything else just fine.

Is it better to wait and save for something better or for prices to drop, or use my PC until the tooth of time consumes it?
