I did buy it early January of this year. I probably just should have gone on ahead and gotten the 3080 card at the time (along with a 4k 144hz monitor instead of 2k 144hz), but it was expensive enough and I was replacing a ten year old rig that I could no longer upgrade. Wanted to future proof the CPU mostly, and have the ability to upscale this for at least 5 years if not more. I haven’t noticed the HDD yet as there’s nothing on it yet. My old PC had a 500GB drive and so I’m used to uninstalling games and installing others often in an effort to keep space free. I was advised that more than 16GB of RAM were unnecessary for almost all games now and into the near future, should I really upgrade to more? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/free-pc-game-and-free-weekend-notification-thread/704513)._
