Should you build a system that won’t become obsolete as technology advances, or should you strike a balance based on your budget? These days, is it more logical to stick with 6-8 core CPUs, or should you go for 10+ cores with future-proofing in mind? On the GPU side, will hardware ray tracing and AI computing capabilities shape the future? Which path do you think will last longer? I’d love to hear your thoughts, buddy.
Which CPU-GPU combo is better suited for the future?

I got an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D (8C/16T) + NVIDIA RTX 4070 combo last month, and I'm really satisfied with its gaming performance and efficiency. Is this a system that won't become obsolete? While it's sufficient for now, I think moving to a 10+ core CPU might be safer for the future. Especially with new technologies like AI and ray tracing, CPUs with 10+ cores can provide better support, making a significant difference in video editing or 3D work.
On the GPU side, it's important to prefer those that support hardware ray tracing and AI computing (like DLSS). For example, my RTX 4070 boosts performance significantly in games with DLSS 3 while also handling ray tracing properly. Balancing according to the budget is crucial, but considering the future, opting for at least a mid-to-high-end GPU and a suitable CPU makes sense. Mine is running well for now, but maybe an upgrade will be needed in 2-3 years.
