Hey everyone! I built my PC in January 2022 and here's my current setup:
- **Case:** Corsair 4000D Airflow
- **PSU:** Corsair RM 750W Gold full modular
- **GPU:** EVGA Geforce RTX 2060 12GB GDDR6
- **Motherboard:** Gigabyte Z690 UD
- **Processor:** Intel Core i5-12600K 4.9GHz
- **RAM:** Kingston Fury DDR5 16GB 5200MHz CL40
- **Storage:** 1 Samsung 500GB SSD and 1 HDD Seagate Barracuda 1TB
- **Cooling:** Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black
I'm pretty satisfied with most of these parts, but I need help deciding on upgrading my GPU, RAM, and possibly adding water cooling. I plan to add more SSDs and HDDs later as needed or when I spot some good deals. The water cooling could wait until around June or so.

Honestly, you might not need water cooling unless you're really pushing your CPU hard. As for the GPU, looking into something like the RTX 3060 or even AMD's Radeon RX 6700 XT could give you a notable performance boost without breaking the bank!
For your headphone needs, I recommend checking out the SteelSeries Arctis 7. They have a retractable mic, are very comfy, and the sound quality is solid. Pricing might vary, so just keep an eye on local listings!
Thanks for the tip! I'll look into them. Comfort and sound quality are definitely my priorities.
Got it! I guess I should focus on getting a better GPU first. Thanks for the suggestions!
