Post Body
I have a GTX 960 that’s been serving me well for about 5 years, I’m thinking about upgrading sometime in the future (probably to an RTX 3060ti or something). Do I have to upgrade other components in my computer to upgrade the GPU (for example, my five year old i5 6500/motherboard, or even my PSU? I got a new PSU fairly recently cause the old one failed but I don’t think it was a major upgrade)? If I don’t have to, would it still be recommended to, even if not for the sole purpose of upgrading (like the five year old mobo)
