Also still running my 3770k desktop. Also the original build with the exception of replacing my existing GTX680 with a 980 a year or two in.

Amusingly, my thoughts of upgrading were initially triggered by wanting new storage. I currently have the original 250GB SATA SSD I put in originally, along with a handful of hard drives from various older systems. Motherboard doesn't have an M.2 slot and I was thinking, hmmm...I bet there are a lot of things I can't upgrade at this point.

Waiting on these new Zen 3 CPUs to be available, but not in a huge rush since I also can't get my intended 3080, so we will see which comes into stock first. It will be a nice bump to a new gen CPU, DDR4, and a few gens of GPU once I can actually buy the dang parts. If they were around I would've built the thing a month ago.



I'm even willing to pay the premium for a prebuilt PC this time but it will be a while before I can find that Ryzen 5900X / RTX 3080 (Ti?) combo anywhere.
