I’ve still been mostly happy with my 3080 / 5800X and was going to hold off on any upgrades until a more complete rebuild, but seeing the writing on the wall I decided to pick up a 9070XT while prices are lower just to make sure I can really stretch out this platform as much as possible.

Statistically speaking, RAM is the most likely part to fail and I’d rather be in the market for DDR4 than DDR5 if that happens.
