Yeah it's basically zero upgrade path. Throw the whole machine away in five years.
You say that like people don't do that already.
There's never been a viable upgrade path after over half a decade, so maybe drop the exaggeration.
Given that the 5070Ti goes for $1500 and is expected to have another price hike, it's already accounting for 70% of the total system cost. 32GB of RAM is also not cheap at an average of $480. And a 1TB drive averages $190 right now.
So you're getting the CPU, motherboard, PSU, and case for free.
Where's the complaint?
