Got a big ole gift card for $500 bucks on Amazon. So needs to be from there. I don't mind throwing a little extra in but no more than ~$100. So I guess real budget is $600.



would like to upgrade my keyboard also to a TKL of some sort but i'll figure that out later.

also how do i overclock a cpu? or is that super google-able?
e/ the acer is 144 hz idk why speccy says 60

I'd go with an AMD Ryzen build atm. Simply cannot touch their price to performance now.

New CPU's in June(ish), wait till then for CPU upgrade TBH. If you wanna spend money, just get a like an RTX 2070 gfx card.

Do you have a motherboard that you'd recommend? I'm completely ignorant with PC parts at the moment :/ obv can research some but was curious if you had any suggestions.

Nah it can sit there. Just kind of came across some money and thought I'd see if I can get an upgrade. Do you have any info on overclocking or can I just like youtube it? Also, any recs on a power supply? I've had the same one for like 8 years, so I kinda think I should change it - lmk if that's just a waste though.
