6/10/23: I finally upgraded my CPU from the 10700f to the 11900k, simply because its a beast of a CPU but also because the 10850k and the 10900k were expensive and I also didn't know that 11th gen supported pcie 4.0 so once I found out that Z490 can support pcie 4.0 with a simple bios update and a upgrade to 11th gen. I didn't waste any more time, and quickly snagged the 11900k for 300$, now I have access to pcie 4.0 on my 980 pro and wow it is a huge difference, and along with 4.0 support came along Re-bar which I enabled in the bios to also improve my gaming performance, I am super happy with the results.

1/12/23: started from an HP Omen 25L and upgraded to here, the first upgrade I bought for the omen was a second stick of ram to access dual channel, then I bought an MB311L case from cooler master along with the ML240L V2 and the RM850 from Corsair, and the next upgrade was a bigger case so I then went out and bought the TD500 which is an amazing case may I say, after saving some more I then went out and bought the MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Carbon ATX Motherboard and a 980 Pro for the faster boot drive and 32Gb Ram kit @3600mhz from Teamgroup Team T-Force, I then waited a bit to then buy a 2TB SSD from silicon power for my game drive, and now the biggest upgrade that I've been saving for was a new GPU, now I was stuck on what to get everyone I knew has a 3060 but I originally wanted to buy a 3070 which was just barely out of my budget, after long thought I decided best of both worlds and bought a 3060ti LHR, and coming from a 2060 this was a MASSIVE improvement, I've been able to crank the settings to high on my favorite games and I've been able to maintain 144fps while doing so, and I don't plan on using this GPU for mining so I don't mind that is a LHR card, and I'm not done with upgrading just yet, I still plan to upgrade my processer from the 10700f to maybe a 10850k or a 10900k I'm still thinking but that will be awhile before I move onto that.
