I just upgraded my system, and now Mrs Cad wants her upgraded because it is slow … an i5 Haswell. A lot of the components she has and the case will work for her and over time we can upgrade the little stuff. Later we can exchange her hard drive (still with 1.5T empty) for an SSD. Replace fans as they die. PSU is 750W. CPU cooler needs a good cleaning. Etc.
Here is her Christmas gift
Rocket Lake (11th Gen) i7
ASrock Z590 mobo
32 GB Corsair DDR4 3600
Sapphire Radeon RX 6700XT
Price before taxes and shipping? $770 of which over 40% is the video card.
ETA: Don’t tell her but the 6700 may end up in my computer and she gets my 6650
