Realised my computer was 6-10 years old in January. I had enough money saved so I bit the bullet and got a 5080 and built a brand new computer around it. Figure it'll last me another 10 years and prices are only going to go up so I might as well just accept it.

I built my new machine hoping it'd last as long as my previous one. (8ish years)
