What game encouraged you to make your new PC, or upgrade? (lemmy.world)

Since the minimum and recommended specs for Starfield have come out, I've been budgeting to do a big upgrade on my PC with an AMD 6800 xt and a fancy new 1 TB SSD (which is the first game I've ever seen that requires an SSD) just so I can run the game in all it's space epicness.

What was the game that you were so excited for that you made the jump to upgrade your PC to the next gen of hardware? New or old!

Just wanted to mention that I've had the 6800XT for a little while now, and I am very happy with it. Runs the majority of games great at 1440p/144FPS, and I've never had any issues with temperatures or drivers. I will mention, however, that the 6800Xt is a big, big SOB and barely fit in my case, so make sure you measure your case a bunch.
