Nier Automata made me do my first upgrade since I got my PC back around 2010. I was very excited to play it, loaded it, and slugged below 10 fps in the opening scene of the game. I was incredibly sad, but undeterred in playing what became one of my favorite games of all time. Got a 1070, came home, and forgot about power usage. So I had to go out again and get a new power supply. Then it became smooth sailing.
Nowadays I'm looking to upgrade my whole PC since my I7 is probably slower than today's i3 maybe ( I know it's worse than an i5 now) but no game has given me issue right now (except D4 making my computer into an airplane.)
