This is mostly just for discussion, but this is my PC’s current state. I do want to do a full custom watercooled setup sometime but I’m wondering if anything is screaming out “upgrade me, I’m old”. I mostly game and do CAD design/3D printing. Some photoshop and After Effects work every now and then. What would you upgrade?

    I’m bump up the RAM to 64GB. It’s somewhat overkill for most cases but you somewhat future-proof your device more. Also, if you have any interest in AI you can easily run some of the open-source large language models pretty comfortably on the CPU with 64GB of RAM (see llama.cpp program).

        I mean, if you want to future proof you could go with ddr5 ram but then you would need to change your motherboard and a bunch of other stuff I imagine.
