I was looking at making some upgrades to my rig after my benefits kick in next month, and I can't say I've followed the next generation hardware conversation especially closely. It all goes a bit over my head, to be honest. Would someone be able to give me a quick and dirty dummy's guide for what's coming and when it might be a good time to look at upgrading?
For context, I'm currently running a GTX 1060 off an i7-7700K processor and was looking at upgrading to a graphics card with a bit more power - the RX 5700 XT seemed like the way to go for the budget I'm working with. I don't do any especially hardcore gaming and I don't plan on pushing my rig to its limits, but I also don't want to throw money away on hardware that will soon be obsolete if I can just wait a few months to avoid that.
